- Comment on Minimum and award wages to rise 3.5 per cent from July 2 weeks ago:
An award wage is a legally mandated minimum pay rate based on an employees modern award.
A modern award is a legal document that covers an employees conditions for employment. This covers various things such as; pay rates (as above), penalty rates (working weekends, night shift, public holidays, etc.), hours of work (38 hours a week), breaks (tea breaks, lunch breaks), rosters, and overtime.
There are quite a few awards which you can find here: www.fairwork.gov.au/…/list-of-awards
I don’t believe Australia has ever had tipped minimum wage (and it should never).
But that is just a minimum standard, can’t you negotiate for a higher salary? Yes
An employee can negotiate with their employer for better conditions of employment, which is covered as an employment contract. (Should be noted, an employment contract cannot leave the employee worse off, ie. cannot erode your rights under an award).

Might as well take it. Trump probably doesn’t even know what Pine Gap is. FFS, he didn’t even know what AUKUS was!
- Comment on Multiple fatalities as aircraft collide over Washington DC and crash into river [UPDATES ONGOING] 4 months ago:
Tragic.
I think the answer to this would be to have seperate airspace for civilian and military. Especially in such a major city like Washington DC. Though not sure if it would be totally possible, considering the White House and Pentagon are right there.

Might be a UI bug. I am getting 2 Brisbane entries show up as well. Maybe you were able to select both Brisbane entries at the same time which created both posts. However I wasn’t able to replicate this.
