My calc took into account 11 months of 22 days at 8 hrs a day to obtain an 
approximate hourly rat if working for a full year (assuming that the $75k 
offered was on an annual basis).  There is a fondness in Melbourne for "fixed 
term contracts" where you will be paid for annual leave, sickies and public 
holidays that fall within the contract period - but these are usually of 
several years duration. They are probably trying this trick on a much shorter 
term contract and may be excluding sickies and public holidays. They should in 
fairness be quoting an hourly rate.

I can't see anything about "annual leave" -- it's still a temporary contract,
after all.

No sick leave, either.
