Blue Death

1 member

Paul Barry’s report exposes the scandalous impact of blue asbestos mining at Wittenoom in WA.

Mining had stopped in the 1960s, but locals were now dying of mesothelioma and asbestosis.

The program increases pressure on the mine operator, CSR, to adequately compensate those whose lives have been affected by exposure to this deadly substance.
