Regardless, as an M.E. I feel capable of cleaning the monitor and if I screw it up, oh well.

$12/hr for a double E? I was making that before I even graduated tech school. After I got my AE I was making more than twice that (16 years ago), and we live in one of the cheapest areas in the country as far as cost of living goes.
$9 an hour to assemble packs is more than fair in most areas, it's not hard and we pay people more than that to solder our circuit boards, and that is a lot harder than packs.
Also isn't the exchange rate for AU a lot lower than the US?
