"The higher minimum wages in Australia are also clear cut."
Do you have any links to studies around this? From what I've heard of the past couple years, most economists believe only a marginal increase to around $10/hr would be beneficial. I'm not arguing against that, but $10/hr doesn't seem like it would afford those workers the opportunity to build wealth, and increasing it further is supposedly not going to provide any additional benefit to that group.
