Her Fashion Box and its sole director Kath Purkis have been fined a total of $329,133 by the Federal Circuit Court in Sydney for underpaying three workers more than $40,000 between 2013 and 2015.
“There is no doubt that the penalties are substantial,” Judge Nicholas Manousaridis said on Thursday. “Unfortunately, the conduct constitutes serious and sustained contraventions of important provisions of the Fair Work Act.” The court found the “unpaid intern” was underpaid $6913. She gave evidence that by late 2014 she was running out of money and, expecting to begin full-time work with Her Fashion Box, resigned from her part-time waitressing job.
The court also found Her Fashion Box breached the law by failing to comply with four Notices to Produce documents or records issued by Fair Work inspectors, who investigated the company after receiving complaints from the young workers. “Australia’s workplace laws are clear — if people are performing productive work for a company, they are legally entitled to be paid minimum award rates.”

And I can't remember, if ever, when a 'conservative' claimed similar attention. It's always a Democrat.

WA drivers under the influence of drugs to be hit with new fines and chargesThe WA Government plans to increase fines and impose a six-month licence disqualification for drug drivers to bring punishments in line with the rest of the country. If they are hit while they are under the influence of drugs, will it hurt? It doesn’t hurt much when you’re hit when you’re drunk. Incorrect. The driver test does not detect impairment. Drivers are unfairly punished for trace amounts of select drugs inc THC, which is proven safer than alcohol. No reason other than Minister hates these ppl. This policy PUSHES alcohol, undetectable & drugs w short life WApol Unfortunately the type of person that drives whilst under the influence of drugs or alcohol will also drive while suspended or disqualified. Indefinite impoundment of their car and or destruction, is a real consequence that should be considered.

New app helping drivers avoid finesThere’s nothing worse than getting back to your car and realising you have a parking ticket, but a new app could make parking fines a thing of the past. Beware apps that hold your cash credit and charge monthly admin fees. Some of these apps auto top up credit too. If you are not using the credit to park, the app auto tops up and then depletes via admin fees.
