So what do they earn? Sadly, the talks didn't conclude before we left, so I don't know the current wage. What they made before however, was roughly 2 million Shilling per month. A quick mental estimate makes that about 1100 USD. Not knowing the exact number of hours they work, that gives you a little over 50USD per day, or in other words about 25 times her idiotic statement(perhaps more in aussie monopoly money).

Agree with most of your statement however $50 US = $47 AU... This is important because the very reason our workers are less competitive is that the Aussie dollar has strengthen by 50% due to the very mining boom that Ms Rhinehart has made her fortune from.
