minus-squareBriongloidOPMlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·3 months agoThe $800 was advised to me by someone who was already doing previous Vic/Aus elections, he said $800 flat rate regardless of hours on election day. But that also meant some would be 12hrs, others 3hrs, so the value for work is very ambiguous. Every other day was around minimum wage.
