Is it customary to tip the waiter in an Australian restaurant, or is
it like Italy and France, where such tipping is rare?

If tipping is customary, what percentage of the bill is the normal
amount to tip.

Tipping is a very un Australian thing to do.

It indicates to the person receiving the tip that you consider them as
subservient and a lesser human being than you are.

We expect employers to pay a wage that supports the employee and not rely on
tips to make a wage just below poverty levels.
