Hedge funds slash bullish wagers on gold over Trump election win
Hedge funds and other large speculators boosted net-long positions by 11% to 197,362 as of Nov. 12, the lowest in 14 weeks.
Rural communities in Australia’s mineral-rich states are unhappy about the many working girls following highly-paid miners into their small towns.
The local newspaper of one tiny settlement, Mackay, reports motel and hotel owners in the region are kicking out prostitutes using their rooms to ply their trade.
It is legal for women to work as sole operators in Australia provided they don’t solicit in public and one so-called “coal-girl” recently sought $30,000 compensation through the Queensland Civil Administration Tribunal for economic loss from a hotel who told her to leave.
The Mackay Daily Mercury quotes a prostitute who goes by the name “Tiffany”:
“I know of women (prostitutes) who have bought Winnebagos and caravans – but even getting a booking at a caravan park is hard.”
Tiffany also believes sex crime will rise when working girls are forced out of Mackay:
“You can’t stick thousands of men in a town for a long period of time without very many women and expect there won’t be issues.”
The Courier Mail reported in November fly-in, fly-out “working girls” travelling from as far away as New Zealand to the remote mining regions of Queensland and Western Australia are making as much as $2,000 a day from mine labourers.

I think mackay may be a little dissapointed at being descibed as a tiny settlement. Last time I looked tehre were about 120,000 people

Mackay is most definitley not a “tiny” settlement. Mackay contrinutes to a significant amount of the Queensland and Australian economy. Someone must have been using imaginepedia for thier research…….

question begs, like the early goldrush days, was it the people searching for gold that made money or was it the people selling the shovels?
@ $2000 a day, i am starting to wonder why I studied engineering?

Lummax you studied engineering so you wouldn’t have to fondle dirty people, suffer from STDs and see your salary decline as your assets wear and tear. 😉

The richest and largest silver mines in the USA. (Idaho) has had the ‘Ladies Of The Evening’ for over 100 years ‘servicing’ the hard working miners. We have had hardly any sex crimes during that time at all! The ‘ladies’ have been more than generous with the towns in “The Silver Valley” helping out when ever that they can/could. Without the ‘Girls’ to do their thing we would not be the safe, upstanding place to work & live that we are today. ‘Welcome Girls’, & we hope that you will be around for another 100 plus years plying your much needed trade!!!!!!!

Small towns should license and tax the girls. A portion of their profits should be dedicated to investments in public coal stocks. And income tax declarations should be insisted upon..Then they can be good and properly screwed – just like the ordinary citizen.

The key to traveling on a budget is information. By comparing different travel resorts and destinations you are able to pick those that have the best quality for your budget. Without being knowledgeable of your options, you can easily find yourself paying double or triple what you should be.

There are also web sites that offer discounts for certain vacation packages. They are often more competitively priced than those offered by offline travel agencies, as online companies can cut costs where traditional ones cannot. This edge directly cuts the costs of your vacation.
