The owner of the Adelaide shop that was the scene of a violent assault two weeks ago has broken his silence, saying he thinks he was “set up” but admitting to paying his workers $10 an hour.
The interview with the tea shop owner was conducted in Chinese by prominent YouTuber Edgar Lu – known as SydneyDaddy – and makes clear the owner is appearing on camera despite legal advice saying he should not.
In the opening minutes, the owner is asked a series of “yes or no” questions, including whether the two women who initially confronted him over alleged underpayments were actually paid a wage of $10 an hour.
Protesters rally in Adelaide's Chinatown district urging better wage protections for migrant workers and international students, after a video showing an alleged assault inside a local business went viral.
