Well, it is not often you get them from that side of the chamber! Is the minister aware of Korean workers engaged by KSN Engineering Ltd being paid $15 an hour to work for various construction and fabrication companies in Western Australia? Isn’t it a fact that to reach the minimum salary of $41,850 specified in the regulations, these workers would have to work at least 53 hours a week? Does the minister believe that these workers should be paid at least the hourly rate under the relevant award and appropriate overtime payments for any extra hours worked over the standard 38-hour week?
