If I could get a $ for every newcomer I have met in remote communities I could afford to stop working now. It's not only about "conditions". it's also about performance. In my experience far too much resource & effort is wasted on people who go to remote area jobs "for the money". More often than not such jobs are either in or very close to communities which cop the brunt of those who don't give a single thought about the impact they have in those communities. All they are concerned about is yes, "the money". The worst are the Government public servants because of not being needed in the first place they demand & get very good conditions in return for what ? Mining or construction personnel in general are of a far more considerate mentality because they actually seek the remote experience & the very good conditions being an additional benefit
