Songs in the shadow of Adani: hard-up towns rally for a mining musical
by Clarissa Sebag-Montefiore from World news | The Guardian on (#2XMKX)
While northern Queensland waits to see if the Carmichael mine will go ahead, communities who depend on the industry unite for a musical extravaganza
In a school in northern Queensland stands a man in a yellow shirt, one paint-splattered leg pressed against the wall, his long hair tied back messily under a cap. Clermont construction worker Fred Bartusch is not here for a job. He is here to sing.
I spend all my days
Going down to the mines
Under the ground
Where the sun never shines
