The OP is folksy and cute, but it means nothing. Funny how so many CDU bulls seem to have intimate knowledge of the McRae family- grew up with them, etc. Even if it were true, it doesn't mean someone ought to have that position. Check this out, folks, if you haven't already- it's all about Cameron McRae:

This looks to be highly plausible:

"I met Cameron when he was 6 years old working with WM at his Kuridulla mine 100 klms south of Cloncurry and at that age was operating the alluvial plant whilst WM loaded it. I later visited WM and Cameron at their mining operation at Charters Towers where Cameron was 9 years old and operating and loading the plant with a Cat 966. In 1986 at around 13 years old he was working underground with his father on their underground gold mine at Cloncurry on the end of a hammer drill and setting explosives."
