Australian child labour laws
I'm 14 and i'm moving to auz, In QLD can i LEGALLY get a part time job? And when i say a job i don't mean a paper round because i've had one and although i done the work i hated it . So i am only asking about REAL jobs. eg. in a shop. Because my friend has moved to spain 2 years ago and he can get a job like this. Thank you.

UMMM - if you are only 14 and using language like that then you won't get a job.......even in Australia.
