The Fair Work Australia Office claimed he was not paying proper wages to
his staff and sent a representative out to interview him.

'I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them,' demanded
the rep.

'Well,' replied the farmer, "there's my farm hand who's been with me for
3 years. I pay him $500 a week plus free room and board. He also gets
triple time for working on a Sunday and a slab of beer for a Happy Hour
every Friday"


'The cook has been here for 18 months, and I pay her $400 per week plus
free room and board. She doesn't work on Sundays and I provide paid
satellite television for free in her room.

'Then there's the half-wit.

He works about 18 hours every day and does about 90% of all the work
around here. He makes about $20 per week, Pays his own room and board,
and I buy him a bottle of whiskey every Saturday night. He also sleeps
with my wife occasionally.'

'That's the guy I want to talk to...the half-wit,' says the agent.

'That would be me,' replied the farmer.
