Sorry to disappoint you but they dont earn that much also our mining industry is not booming its slowed down dramatically and dozens of mining comapnies have sacked workers and thousands have been laid off. You are living in a dream world mate.

Total bullshit, my cousin used to drive a 50 tonne dumper truck and earned $40. 000 a year in the mines at Townes Ville Queensland, she now does maintenance in the mines, for a little more dollar, no way do they earn $200.000 a year lmfao.

Underground truck drivers working week on week off earn around 80K before tax, surface or open pit truck drivers earn around 130K before tax.

I know because I am a truck driver underground at argyle diamond mine at the top end of WA.

Hope that clears up this 200K bullshit. not even shiftbosses earn that much, they are around 150K before tax.

All mates of mates crap.

Ports or rail is where it is at.

Not as much as "200k" but at a bit over half of that (as well as being a real figure) is a good deal.

The MUA and dockers heavies have things sewn up toO. Have to be family or willing to suck cock for years to be even considered for a chance of working on the docks. Those lazy cunts were striking not too long ago because they wanted to work 4 days on 6 days off instead of their oh-so-stressful normal 4-days on, 4-days off roster (plus they wanted 20% pay rise).

Most only ever go to work if a ship happens to be coming in that day, otherwise they stay in bed, lazy cunts.

Lived in Port hedland where most of the ming activity takes place. Rents are super expensive there. Like 750 - 1000 week for an average house. Nice place though and thats coming from someone whos worked in Perth most there life. Im 27. If you do a bit more research though you'll find out the Australian resources sector is very dependent on chinese demand, which apparently is slowing very quickly. Just check the baltic dry index and M2 money velocity. Both at or near record lows.

It's actually extremely difficult to get an Australian Citizenship and/or work visa. Thankfully at the moment, the Immigration Dept seems to only be letting in HIGHLY skilled people. Also of course the occassional genuine refugee etc.

Also rent in Perth is $350 per week for a shitty house, $500 for better, %40 goes straightaway in tax, 10% GST (VAT), other costs %200 over international. Medical is better than the US though. Lol.
