Gunns’ Chairman John Gay today welcomed an apology from Hobart Doctor Frank Nicklason as part of a settlement over statements made about the company’s operations

In 2002 Dr Nicklason claimed that the company’s woodchip piles at the Burnie wharf would “almost certainly have Legionella and fungal organisms which can be blown across the town”

Dr Nicklason today gave a written apology to the company for making the claims.~

“The apology should reassure Tasmanians following years of misinformation about health risks from woodchips”

Mr John Gay, Chairman, Gunns Ltd
