REPORT FIFO LAW BREACHES
local workers for local jobs
Fly-In Fly-Out (FIFO) work practices are a vexed issue around the Bowen Basin in Central and North Queensland because mine jobs are being taken by people who live in the south-east corner of Queensland while the residents of mining communities can struggle to find a job. The Queensland Labor Party, in government, granted 100% FIFO conditions to Daunia and Caval Ridge mines in the Bowen Basin, without considering the consequences in the event of an industry downturn. As a result, locals who live near the mine were barred from working there.
George Christensen speaks in the Australian Parliament on the devastating impacts of FIFO on Central and North Queensland economies.
Discrimination
Discriminating against locals is particularly devastating in mining communities where jobs outside the coal industry are scarce.
