Absolutely agree it isnât that hard, and people will pay the extra to get good local product. If the product is exported then premium prices are going to come back to us in balance of trade figures. Itâs a win win, the farmer gets the crop harvested and the locals have more money to spend in their local economyâŠthe ripple effects of paying decent incomes are that everyone here benefits.

Terrible that it happens here, but First Nations people here have suffered this since White people landed near Sydney. It shouldnât have happened, it shouldnât still be happening but we as a Nation need to change our attitudes markedly before I see the proper outcome happening. The desire for profit, the desire to pay the least we can, our upbringing, our treatment of those who are different, all play a part in perpetuating these crimes.
As they state in the article âAnother way Australians can help is by being an ethical consumerâ.

Union claims that the CBA owes staff $45 million for lost tea breaks.
I had to laught at this response from the CBA.
âThe spokesman said that staff who were unable to take a tea break at busy times were still paid for it.â
How magnamious. Still getting paid for paid tea breaks which they missed out on.
Time for a nice cup of tea, a Bex, and a good lie down.
Which bank?
Another disgusting case.

More reports of the disgusting treatment of farm workers.
I wonder how the labour-intensive sections of our agriculture industry are managing to adapt now that the source of exploitive labour through the working holiday visa system has dried up. Closed borders due to the pandemic.
The Government has a rescue plan.
Fair wages and conditions not necessarily included.
