The minimum wage went up at the beginning of this month to $16.50 per hour. If you’re earning any less, your employer is in breach of the law. There are only some minor exceptions to minimum wage; if you’re 19 or under and are on a training scheme or were recently on benefits, then you’re entitled to a lower training wage. Everyone else should be on $16.50 per hour or more. This per hour rate includes overtime, people on a salary or on commission-based pay. The trouble is, even the recent minimum wage rise doesn’t sufficiently cover the cost of living in Queenstown – and it’s scaring talented employees away. The Living Wage Movement Aotearoa calculates the minimum hourly rate employees need to be paid to “live a basic yet decent life” is $20.55. This ‘living wage’ is an estimation based on the national economy. Nationally, the average house value according to the QV House Price index is just under $700,000. In Queenstown, it’s more than $1.1 million. Compare this to the national mean income of $57,000 and Queenstown’s $49,000 (which is no doubt skewed upwards by a few very rich residents). The region’s low-wage economy is at odds with the price of living. Yet some employers complain they’re struggling to find and keep decent workers. Just as every real estate agent will remind you that house prices are high because demand is high, wages should be higher if you hope to attract and keep ‘higher quality human resources’. I’ve known so many talented, highly-qualified and experienced people in their fields, leave because they were being paid sometimes half the national average for their industry. These people could have contributed to Queenstown’s growth and development, but instead they left once the thrills of Queenstown had worn off and discontent had set in. Then there’s the seasonal workers who put up with poor pay temporarily to enjoy the spoils of Queenstown and end up working harder than they’d bargained for. In one instance, I met a marketing executive on a career break who was being paid minimum wage as a barista, but soon found herself creating in-depth marketing strategies for the whole business instead – all for minimum wage. Her ‘career break’ turned out to be more stressful than planned and her underpaid work probably put an equally qualified local out of a decent job. Because Queenstown is propped up by a regular influx of here-for-a-good-timenot-a-long-time seasonaires, many under-paid employees simply come and go without complaining. It’s up to the businesses and employees who live here long term to negotiate a better standard for those who call the Queenstown Lakes region home – or we risk losing key talent to other areas of New Zealand.

Rubbish
Rubbish rogues. How unconscionable is it to put your non-recycle rubbish bags into another person’s recycle bin! I just went out to top up my bin which I had placed on the road at the required time of 8am. It was less than a third full, but when I opened it at midday, it was full of rubbish.
So was it people who don’t know the difference between the bins, or who don’t know what recycling is? Or just too cheap to buy their own official rubbish bags?
Someone had dumped supermarket bags of rubbish in on top. Not only was it now full, it was full of stuff that should not be in it at all!
Local
On Friday, a student (probably unpaid) in highvis walked out in front of the cars and stopped all traffic entering Camp Street so that the graduation ceremony could walk through the street. Because Camp Street was blocked, cars backed up along Shotover Street, Stanley Street and Ballarat Street. It’s usually bad that time of day – but as Camp Street was closed for about 8 mins, it was doubly bad on Friday lunchtime.
As usual, there was no warning or organisation around this – only one small message on QLDC’s Facebook page which is easily missed. The whole parading through town thing seems outdated and pointless – is making the town’s traffic problems worse really the best way to celebrate graduation?!
Frustrated

FACEBOOK/WEBSITE COMMENTS Editorial - 646 Totally agree, Queenstown is in danger of putting $$$’s first and locals second. There seems to be little focus on making an epic community from the council and more on attracting foreign tourists in bus loads that we cant even interact with. This is creating a hostile ‘us and them’ attitude. Could be time to give the marketing a break and repair Queenstown’s soul before its too late. The mountain bike scene has a great community but things like this and the logging of 7mile bike trails with no replanting or trail building budget are not exactly helping.
Local Soul
Feeling No Sympathy! - 646
Racist Assumptions How come whenever there’s an accident on the road, people blame Chinese drivers? Queenstown has one of the highest drink driving records in New Zealand and yet, when there’s an accident social media explodes with racist comments presuming that the driver was from China.
No 9%
Get out of town, we don’t want your sort here.
Graduation Grumbles With the hundreds of students paying a fortune to study at QRC, perhaps the organisers could fork out for a proper graduation ceremony which doesn’t block the entire CBD?
ASK ME
Is Queenstown losing touch with the cultural fabric of its community?
Last week, people were quick to blame the car crash in town on someone from the big Amway China conference, even though the conference visitors are being chauffeured everywhere in buses by local drivers. Perhaps there’d be fewer crashes on the road if people spent less time trying to guess the nationality of the driver in front and spent more time concentrating on their own driving.
Exactly. Obviously if you put an ad in the LWB looking for chefs, hotel cleaners or tourism shuttle drivers paying $50 per hour you would be flooded with applicants. On the other hand if you offer $16.25 per hour and only 20-30 hours per week you end up with no applicants. It makes me laugh that hotels have put their rack rates up 200% or more in the last few years - in some cases rooms that were $140 per night two years ago are now $400+ per night. Then the hotel managers says they can’t afford to pay their staff another $2 per hour to clean those rooms. The Immigration Department should crack down on this cheap form of labour sourced from overseas tourists on working holidays who will work for peanuts to subsidise their Queenstown stay. It’s too easy for employers to say they advertised for 3 weeks and had no applicants so they need a visa for a foreigner.

Driver Carparking Losers - 646
COMMENT ON WHINGES! Go to www.lwb.co.nz
What the problem is, is that the council do nothing about it, neither does the Police, so the problem will go unpoliced until there is an accident at one of these intersections, and then they MIGHT do something about it. You could go out to the intersections you mentioned, and issue parking tickets every day but do they police it... NO, they dont give a toss about safety.

In some very limited situations, a person who is unlawfully in New Zealand (but not subject to a deportation order) may be granted a new visa known generally as a ‘section 61 visa’. It is important to note however that no person has a right to request a visa once unlawful and Immigration NZ has no obligation to consider such a request. Furthermore, if Immigration NZ do consider your request and subsequently refuse it, they have no obligation to give you any reasons for the refusal and you must leave. Essentially, a section 61 visa is at the absolute discretion of Immigration NZ.

DICK DICKIE
When I first met the guy... I didn’t like him. Brown flare pants matched with sideburns, he was straight out of ‘That 70’s Show’ and needless to say I was unimpressed when all my snappy comments were returned with a filthy northern sting. Rob Dickinsen has called Queenstown home for 17 years. Establishing an electrical business by day and for many years, djing the bubble party life by night. It’s not an easy feat to
completely re-invent yourself in a small town but I hear how Rob did just that. Stripping himself of his 70’s abomination and dedicating himself entirely to be a conservation activist. He tells me what he finds on our shoreline, why he started SEAshepard HERE in an alpine town and we reminisce, how once upon a time, he was our weather guy ‘Dick Dickie’.
Queenstown – I’ve grown a fondness to the guy I once didn’t like and a complete appreciation of the transformation he has endured. I wish you luck Dick Dickie – He’s left to be a real-life pirate now #followyourdreams. Head to the Lakes Weekly Facebook page, our Youtube channel or Queenstown App to ‘Like, Comment & Share’ a story of transformation #LocaloftheWeek
