[AusNOG] Sysadmin opportunities in Melbourne?

[Giles Pollock]

Minimum wage in Australia for tech jobs? Last time I checked the contractor
rates for a service desk analyst were A$12.50 (if you were lucky)... Yes,
you can get more working on a checkout (assuming they have not been
replaced with self-checkouts)
