- Abstract
The article deals with the increase of fly-in, fly-out and drive-in, drive-out (FIFO) workforce in Western Australia (WA). It notes on the impact of the FIFO operations on established communities and the perceived rejection of town and their way of life in favour of high wages and temporary camp living environments, according to a report of the House of Representative Standing Committee Enquiry. The increase in the living cost to unfavorable levels for many families in WA is also noted.
