Backpackerboard takes down low-pay job ads

Yesterday we reported on a website, backpackerboard.co.nz, which has been is advertising jobs for backpackers and temporary visitors at below the minimum wage. We received this statement from them late yesterday. "We take the welfare and working rights of the backpackers who use our site seriously. We moderate new listings placed on our website but employers are currently able to renew old adverts which may in turn show out of date salary information. We are now looking into how we can stop this from happening. If we receive any complaints about an advert or employer we take immediate action to suspend the listing and contact the advertiser. After this minimum wage issue has been brought to our attention we have actively removed all offending listings from our website and going forward will monitor the issue closely."
