Increase in miners suiciding

For once Bob Katter actually nails it.

What's more important, spending a fair amount of your working life with the family you're raising, or throwing that away for money hungry mining companies? 

This is talking about the fly in - fly out thing. I know someone a while back who was doing it from here; spending 3 months away from the family and being flown in to mine. There was no alcohol, and 12 hour days, 6 days a week. Fuckin hard work, all he did there was work, eat and sleep for three months. Then he would come back to Sydney for a time to his family.
