Dear Fellow Opponents of the Carlton River Toxic Waste Dump!
RE:- SOUTHERN WASTE SOLUTIONS COMMUNITY MEETING
TONIGHT 7PM COPPING HALL
Tonight we have the opportunity in the presence of media to question Southern Waste Solutions on their proposed hazardous waste facility. Please come armed with the hard questions - we want to show Tasmanians that SWS do not have the facts to back up their statements.
However, if our questions are going to be vetted or screened in any way, we ask for your support in leaving the hall with us in a mass walkout in order to demonstrate our disgust in a process so obviously fake.
Christine Bell has said publicly many times that this facility will go ahead regardless of public concern. This voluntary consultation and submission process is nothing more than lip service.
In the Mercury this morning, Christine Bell said -
- this facility will increase our property values!
Our thoughts - To say that proximity to a Toxic Waste Dump will increase property values is a ludicrous and unsubstantiated comment to make.
- this facility will clean up the already polluted Carlton River!
Our thoughts - By what possible mechanism can a tip clean up the water quality of a river? What scientific evidence does she have for this statement?
- this facility is not Toxic!
Our thoughts - Southern Waste Solutions must now clearly demonstrate to the whole scientific community that not a single one of those substances is toxic to human health.
