I know about 10 people who lived part time or fifo out of Karratha
All of them live in Perth now.
Next time i will ask them why they didn't relocate to this "Prosperous" dirt bowl?
I know a doctor in Geraldton, And Meth is a real big problem there.
So your reaction is very stupid
Mining sounds like a symptom to the problem of the Australian Un-Economic Complexity issue.
The result being; Speculating on non productive "assets" and selling dirt.
When this recession is over and Australia's only solution is to return back to the Aussie housing Ponzi; and nothing economically different happens than building houses and creating debt - We only have our selves to blame, and future generations will wonder WTF we were doing?
