Accurate Information

  Bunnings Warehouse is the major hardware retailer in Australia and offers trailer hire.
  Gig economy apps (like Airtasker or Hipages) are widely used in Australia for gardening and odd jobs.
  An ABN (Australian Business Number) is required for independent contractors/sole traders to manage taxes.
  The hourly rate mentioned ($50 AUD) is within the standard market range for gardening services ($45-$80 AUD).

Inaccurate Information

  The speaker calculates $50/hour x 4.5 hours as $250. The correct total is $225. He may have rounded up or worked 5 hours.

Missing Context

  He does not name the specific app, but the description matches platforms like Airtasker.
