Of course it pays good money otherwise no one would be willing to take the job. Riskier jobs inherently pay above average. The riskier the more it pays. There's a reason to that. :03:

Smiley added because I didn't mean my reply to be taken to be negative in tone. I really don't. Cross my heart.

Aust experts arriving in NZ :yeah:

Quote:

A sizeable team of Australian mine safety experts and equipment is arriving in New Zealand.
A technical expert from Emergency Management Australia and eight New South Wales mining experts have been joined by four other mining experts from Queensland.
The Queensland team includes two experienced gas chemists, an expert on whole-of-mine gas monitoring systems and a mine ventilation expert.
The equipment includes sophisticated gas monitoring systems developed by the Queensland government's safety-in-mines testing and research station at Redbank.
Two Australians are among the 29 men trapped in the West Coast mine and Foreign Minister Kevin Rudd says sending the team is about helping out kiwi mates, as well as looking after their own.
The Australian Consul General and staff have been sent to the West Coast.

The 29 Miners: 24 New Zealanders, two Australians, two Britons and one South African.
