Chemicals: nobody knows
Pete Godfrey
The problem is that testing is not done after each large scale spray event, or even at the first heavy rain event. These chemicals could have been in the water for up to 3 months, nobody knows. What we do know is that they were in the water. Also DPIW do not record all the results on their website. I have a press release from David Llewellyn (minister for almost everything) about contamination in Brumby’s Creek and Western Creek but as these are not regular test sites they are not recorded on the DPIW site. So the DPIW site is useful as a litmus paper but not for scientific verification or a total picture. I don’t really care about your non de plume, but i do care that you bag out the concerned and active people who live here, use this site and bother to care about the environment in Tasmania.
