[QUOTE="Edi, post: 597565, member: 9405"] Fair points made about miners pushing up real estate prices. And locals not getting access to jobs. But I have lived in worked in areas where mine jobs are prioritised to locals. Obviously doesn't happen everywhere and fifo camps suck for most townsfolk. It has really upset me.loosing so.many friends who can't afford the rent who have lived In the district for years and are forced to leave. The shire bears some responsibility by encouraging airbnb tourism and making housing developments only possible at the higher $ end. I have worked extensively in both open cut and to a lesser extent underground and am under no illusions as to the mess mines leave. 20000 plus unrestored legacy mines in the country, legislated deposits for rehab an embarrassing joke relative to real coat of rehabilitation. Koolan island iron ore claims it will be the first ever australia mine to close to the terms agreed apon with government. Hasn't happened yet tho. What a joke, most of the shareholders are not australian citizens but they leave their mess behind for the taxpayers and environment to suffer. Weak governments, especially qld and wa mines departments, institutionalised corruption. I get angry [/QUOTE]
