the thing about western australia, i would suppose, is they want people working the mines, over there.
they aren't interested, at all, in creating good jobs for good people, or anything like that.
i would imagine it would be about blackbirding for migrant workers and arranging for them to be deported or imprisoned or both when it comes time to pay the workers.
likely stuff around the lung scans etc. seems likely. from working the mines. working conditions generally. etc.
also aboriginal communities in the vicinity.
i don't think there is much of any evidence that australia actually truly genuinely wants there to be functioning aboriginal communities.
by the sounds of it things are not good in western australia. the university there is looking a lot like dunedin with... drunken student riots and so on.
i mean... they say the kids are having a 'party' but they are taking sweepstakes, every year, they speculate on which kids will die. thinking of the odds... the chances...
living in one particular residnetial hall.... what are the chances that one of them will die? how many of them will drop out and leave the hall early?
which of the kids will be the kids to die? which kid in particular will be forced out?
how do you make sure you aren't the kid to go?
it's sooooooooooo cmopetitive.
apparently.
sooooooooo competitive.
that's why the kids of here wear 'university of michigan' or what the f*ck ever t-shirts.
nobody voluntarily chooses to be here.
