@Mark I usually mention this in the Melbourne CFUG so they know my stance... having the right skills (OOP, proper relational tables,etc etc) is sufficient, coldfusion should be mentioned as a secondary and not a requirement at all, you should be able to teach even a fresh grad the syntax within 1-3 months. Having the right mindset and base skills is far more important IMHO, CF is probably one of the easiest languages to pick up...
@Brian Short and long is relative... really depends on how short... as Eliseo pointed out, contractors have to factor in their leave, sick days, super at the very least... I would say 75 per hour is reasonable for an experienced dev (has proven development cred and assuming roughly 6 months experience) and then multiply by niche skills or a high skill requirement...
