A half-job or halfie is a person who has an easy job like a stop-go man: On the school bus as you pass the lollipop lady or a road gang you would yell out "get to work ya' half-job". Or if someone had done a bodgy job you might say that they were a "bit of a halfie". This expression was used in Northern NSW between Armidale and Lismore. Also, halfie.
