| An indictment of heartless and greedy companies placing profits before the safety of workers. In this case it was CSR (the "sugar refining company") and the asbestos mines of Wittenoom in West Australia. It ignored the dangers of asbestos for decades. The problem still hasn't gone away as evidenced by James Hardie's recent escapades. | |

| I have been through Wittenoom and it is a very weird place - houses, pubs, shops, the whole works. But the place is deserted - only about five people live there, at its peak there were thousands. It is a true ghost town. The film clip for this song is bloody good too - it is filmed near Wittenoom, you can get a good idea of the harsh, beautiful country where so many men died. | |
