You seem to be the only one recognising the disastrous impact on families that FIFO has.
Thanks FGD.

I've travelled to all the "Mining" places over the last thirty yrs or so, and while I understand the motivation for FIFO, I have been moved by the damage it wreaks on families who often slowly drift apart.

Moreover, I've seen the deterioration of many of the centres that had thriving communities before FIFO and are now shells where there is simply no pride or involvment with the town/s.

I think we will probably look back on FIFO from a historical perspective (the only way you can, by the way) and recognise it for the disaster it is.

Maybe KRudd will even offer an apology, since they're going cheap these days.
