He secured a job at a meatworks and moved with his family to Mackay in 2008, settling in to the quiet, peaceful life and working for a brighter future. A future centred on his children. Marlon said the great thing about becoming an Australian citizen was the opportunities it afforded him. The Milton State High School graduate is working as a diesel fitter in town and hopes to continue that in the future. His brother Kaiky likewise appreciates the opportunities he has in Mackay, and is in Year 12 at Milton State High. I m currently doing engineering courses, he said. I want to go to uni and become an engineer.
