Lets not forget-her father owned the asbestos mine this song is about.
That is how he made his money.

 Quoting: zenobiaphobia



You beat me to it ..

Lang Hancock ( AKA Hang Longcock ) owned the biggest
asbestos mine in Oz ..

Oz has the highest amount of asbestos in buildings
of any country in the world.

Currently the australian gubermint is trying to track down
where all the asbestos went, (mostly in schools and cheap
housing)

The cleanup program is gonna cost millions of dollars

Thanks Lang and gina ..NOT

This is like one big nightmare. I thought it was Iron Ore they got rich in, Asbestos? really?

I have a story. In school I painted a mural of the Wizard of Oz on ceiling tile to be displayed forever. I didnt get around to take a picture of it. I later learned it was destroyed cause of asbestos. I asked them if anyone took a picture before they destroyed it and no one had.

It had taken me months to paint and its gone.. Oz is the name of Australia in slang.

Also too, "qoute"

The famous “Poppy Field” scene in the 1939 MGM film The Wizard of Oz (in which Judy Garland as Dorothy Gale fell asleep) will be appalled to know that the “snow” used in those camera shots was made from 100% industrial grade chrysotile asbestos"

Iron ore, Asbestos and Uranium, copper and anything else they could pull outta the ground

Thats why she' the richest, nastiest woman on the planet.

Nature created those minerals over millions of years..
Extracting those minerals should be the collective wealth of everyone living on Mother earth.

Africa is next. Ive heard that mining there hasnt been as aggressive as it could have been. China is going full speed ahead in Zambia and Ghana esp for Gold
