The other day, the town stated it would settle Garise's wage defaults, taking into account the 2019 and 2024 currency conversions:
“You were owed US$ 5156.95 when your agreement with Council was ended in August 2015. Please be recommended that in February 2019, there was a shift from USD to RTGS at a rate of 1:1, which suggested that US$ 5156.95 ended up being RTGS5156.55.
