Yes, it's approximately true. In 1971, Australia's minimum wage was around $0.90–$1.00/hour AUD (weekly ~$36–$40), equivalent to 1.15–1.28 oz of gold at $35/oz USD (fixed rate pre-shock, with AUD/USD ~1.12). Today's gold at ~$3,425/oz makes that ~$98–$110/hour or $3,940–$4,400/week, highlighting fiat devaluation. Bitcoin offers an alternative.
