Year of the TIGER

Chinese New Year (Chinese: 春節, 春节, Chūnjíe; 農曆新年, 农历新年, Nónglì Xīnnián; or 過年, 过年, Guònián), also known as the Lunar New Year or the Spring Festival is the most important of the traditional Chinese holidays. It consists of a period of celebrations, starting on New Year’s Day, celebrated on the first day of the first month of the Chinese calendar, i.e. the day of the second new moon after the day on which the winter solstice occurs, unless there is an intercalary eleventh or twelfth month in the lead-up to the New Year—in such a case, the New Year falls on the day of the third new moon after the solstice. (The next time this occurs is in 2033.) The Chinese New Year period ends with the Lantern Festival, the fifteenth day of the month.

The chinese men were recruited on 457 visas to work at sites in Perth, Kalgoorlie and Melbourne.

The Federal Court in Perth will hear that the non-English speaking workers put in up to 11-hour days, seven days a week for less than $3 an hour.A log book kept by a supervisor allegedly shows they worked up to 77 hours some weeks.
As well as Kentwood, the Fair Work Ombudsman is also prosecuting company director Jian Yang Zhang of Dianella.

The Fair Work Ombudsman and the Department of Immigration and Citizenship started investigating Kentwood and Mr Zhang in February 2007 after one of the workers complained about his pay and conditions.
The Chinese employees received a monthly wage equivalent to about A$600 in their Chinese bank accounts.
It is alleged one worker did not receive his first pay for five months and three others had to wait three months before being paid.
