Rising cost of living hits low paid – ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)
In WA, average wages have gone up 5%; rental by 17% and food by 11%. This is why the mining boom is bad! It’s created two classes of people in Western Australia – those that win and those that lose. I hope all the minerals run out soon.
(Yes, I realise that would be disastrous for the economy.)
Nathan Hobby, a biographer in Perth 
i like the tag line Rising cost of living hits the low paid, its absolutely true
the mining boom is very bad and its affecting the low paid employees not only in Australia in Every country the problem is the same, all the costs have been increased and the salary paid are very less as u mentioned in the are article the problems should solved soon even i feel the same.
