.......the "blind eye" has been turned for at least 15 yrs over here.
AN crews got hammered-BUT put up with it 'cause of the $$$$$.
QF initially put on temporary bans......but were impotent!
Then came along the messiah........OH&S and Random Drug and Alcohol testing
Many of the larger firms in the Pilbara, "Meeka" and Parabadoo all had a zero policy. So the issue was the return leg into PER. These Clowns were usually p!ssed before they got on,pockets full of cash and had a groaning urge in their loins...... to head straight for some low dive at Northbridge for 5-6 days R&R.
So all in all its a good move.
I'm off now to Northbridge for a Vanilla Malted Milkshake and a Vanilla Slice
