It isn't about having faith in Council, it's a matter that they would have to publicly advertise as against the EPA who only advertise in their own little world.
We may still land up fighting Council if it does not go our way. But, we will be ready for it and have a chance to use a Public Meeting to gain support.

Anyone would be forgiven if they observed the N SW government’s tendency to move away from Fascism and towards a Total State based Communism;
The distinct difference is the “State”; is what exists and Fascism is a selected Elite Lootery that controls the supposed commercial mechanisms as well as Control the “State”;
There are some ominous parallels forming in the cracks once again.
Your rights no longer exist, only the State and its Witch doctors tell you what is next on the agenda.

However Insane it is ; you got it?

Excerpts from today's Sunday Times on another stuff-up:

Seven WA councils shared the cost of building and running a $60 million dollar metropolitan waste, "state of the art" compost plant in Canning Vale.

A survey of 228 residents living within 1.6km of the facility confirmed that smell was a major issue.

Residents said the odours from the plant were unacceptably strong. The EPA has placed a temporary closure on the plant. So why did they approve it in the first place?

Jittery councillors question whether millions of dollars of ratepayers' money have been committed to a project that is destined to be a white elephant.

Air-pollution engineer Dave Finnie believed the plant, based on a US facility that had since closed after massive cost blowouts and odour problems, was doomed.

"To me it was almost like they built it not really knowing what they were doing", he said.

An unbudgeted $2.4 million upgrade to reduce odours led councils to seek an independent review of the operation. But the decision to award the tender to Quadro Pty Ltd has fuelled controversy.

Canning Melville Odour Action Group spokesman said Quadro senior staff were involved in establishing the plant.

"They are hardly going to bag their own technology" he said.

These plants cannot be established without the approval of the EPA (Dept Of Environment) where these councils are required to apply for licence renewals and must fit EPA "criteria." Some criteria - hey?

The EPA Act (Section 49) states that a person who emits an unreasonable emission from any premises, commits an offence. Why aren't the polluters prosecuted?

Which brings me to the recurring issue. Why did 7 councils agree to place a plant within close PROXIMITY to residential areas? And why did the EPA approve it?

So the polluter (as usual) will not pay, but the ratepayers will.

And even if the odour problem is resolved, how can one trust these tossers to efficiently separate dangerous toxic chemicals from the end product? You can't see them, smell them or hear them, therefore communities will continue to unwittingly ingest health damaging pollutants.

I believe you are entitled to a copy of your blood test.

If they want to play games and refuse you the results, you can obtain a copy through the Freedom of Information process - hopefully!

“That building was 45% asbestos!” Thanks Belly. Here in Qld Schools they promise
To remove the asbestos roofing government authorised to use in School buildings back in the 70’s, when I a lay person knew the stuff wrapped around water pipes would harm my children, as would the flakes coming off existing roofs and walls unless sealed with protective paints. Now they are making a start on removing such dangerous materials, but where do they dispose of them? I have horse stables nearby that were erected from the materials removed from a local residents roof.

Blood tests, I have had numerous, and they took mouth swabs also, and I still do not know why, nor what the blood test read. Much of these horror stories mentioned here should be shouted from the roof tops, on the papers front page headlines, and governments at all levels made to be accountable.

1 thing is 4 sure, that trio of slimes blair, bush turkey & howard can't b trusted with hazardous waste.

A 1996 UN Resolution banned DU (more appropriately known as U235 enrichment waste munitions) as a WMD; the UN Human Rights
Commission 2002 stated that US/UK use of DU violated The Hague
Conventions, the Geneva Protocol, the Nuremberg Principles, the
Charter of the UN, Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948, etc.

" ... Depleted uranium weapons are an unacceptable threat to life,
a violation of international law, and an assault on human dignity.
We have an obligation to do what is right for our servicemen and women,for our children and our grandchildren, and for all citizens of the world. We must ban the use of depleted uranium in our military and worldwide; we must provide medical care to all DU casualties; and we must clean up all the places where we've used this poison that has the power to kill for countless generations, far into the future. ...
