Debt of $6b but they will save $1m by not repairing footpath, the issue is more fundamental.
This is the norm.As someone who has recently worked in the hospitality industry (as a second job/side hustle) I can tell you its absolute nonsense. Who told you this? And one look at Job ads on seek will confirm it.
Most restaurants and hotels pay the hospitality industry award (HIGA) which has a base rate of $26 per hour for permanent wait staff (and slightly more for cooks, etc) and $32 base rate per hour for casuals. Around the same for stewards, hosts, etc. Line cooks will be paid slighlty more. Most chefs will be on salary and do a decent amount of unpaid overtime.
Sure there are some accomplished career waiters with 5 - 15 years experience working full time at famous fine dining restaurants earning a $35 - $40 per hour base rate but that would be less than 5% of wait staff in the industry.
The typical hourly rate for a Chef probably works out to something around $35 average rate once you factor in the unpaid overtime they do as a a salaried worker (the majority are on salary) and maybe around $40 average rate for a head chef unless you are talking about a head chef at some prestigious fine dining restaurant or 5 star hotel, etc which would be on more money.
This is public servants everywhere in Australia. They think it's a bottomless pit of money.Debt of $6b but they will save $1m by not repairing footpath, the issue is more fundamental.
The Olympics for one, the trip to Paris for too many, and the actual absence of productivity.
It would be very interesting to get the number of Brisbane employees and subcontractors per inhabitant in the 1950s vs nowadays.
And we have mechanisation: road repairs, sweepers, garbage trucks as well IT/automation for the back office.
I am not Brisbane based anymore but i guess this is probably true of all councils
BCC used to do everything themselves until about pre-1990's, then they started using contractors. They used to mow the footpaths and fix the roads themselves, now they have contractors who do the bare minimum work. If you ever put in a complaint against them and make it public, they'll come after you like a savage dog.Debt of $6b but they will save $1m by not repairing footpath, the issue is more fundamental.

Mosaic Brands’ to close all Katies stores by January after voluntary administration
Almost 500 employees of embattled Australian fashion and apparel empire, Mosaic Brands, will lose their jobs by mid-January, as the receivers overseeing its voluntary administration and sales process will close 160 stores and kill off the once popular Katies brand.
All 80 Katies stores will be closed under the decision made by appointed receivers and managers KPMG, while 80 more stores across the Millers, Rivers and Noni B brands will also be shut.
Impacted employees and landlords will be notified as soon as possible.
The decision was made following a review of the performance of Katies as a brand, and the wider store network. The stores identified to close have been loss making resulting in the decision to close them in January.
Approximately 480 store employees will be impacted by the planned closures which are due to occur by mid-January 2025, KPMG said.
“The receivers and managers would like to thank all employees, particularly those whose tenure is coming to an end, for their commitment and support through the receivership process.”
The store closures does not impact the sale process for Mosaic Brands Group, being run by FTI Consulting in their capacity as voluntary administrators. Following submissions of non-binding indicative offers in late November, short listed parties have been undertaking due diligence on the group
In October, Mosaic appointed Vaughan Strawbridge, Kathryn Evans, Kate Warwick and David McGrath of FTI Consulting as Joint and Several Administrators of the Group as part of a voluntary administration process. Mosaic’s senior secured lender has appointed KPMG’s David Hardy, Gayle Dickerson, Ryan Eagle and Amanda Coneyworth as Receivers and Managers to work alongside the Administrators through the restructure process.
I believe their whole business was sticking to a specific generation , and see that as simply an age pyramid result.Another icon going, founded in 1956.

People are dying in ambulances waiting for a bed in hospital, but we shouldn't be hiring more doctors and nurses?Over the past year, government has accounted for an extraordinary 82% of all new hiring, leaving the private sector to take just 18% of jobs. It is like we are living in a centrally planned state.
Or maybe they need to streamline getting them out of the ambulance, rather than having ambulance personel having to have a face to face meetings with a person in the hospital, there must be something available to facilitate that aspect as it is one of the causes the bottleneck from my experience.People are dying in ambulances waiting for a bed in hospital, but we shouldn't be hiring more doctors and nurses?
That has been offset by the fall in the price of bananas apparently, I blame the RBA.Pears are $5.95 a kilo.
Disgraceful. I blame Albanese.
