Left the mining industry,(along with many others) when using your ability was compromised by pressure to comply to this insidious macho culture. Mechanics treated with distain by contractor middlemen, Sexism rife. The entire industry became embroiled with political toxic ideology
The macho mining culture is virtually mandatory and magnified by carefree fly in fly outs

Well it's rife in parliament and some MP and senators offices so why not, let it run free. Who gives a shit, apart from women, and some men. It seems however that's not enough, actually abit of rape, grouping and shagging who ever you want when you want gets you promoted.
