Queensland and the Agent Orange connection ...

A disturbing report in the Sydney Morning Herald:

See - Agent Orange Town.

40 odd years ago the Australian government marked Agent Orange files:

- "Considered sensitive because report recommends use of 2,4-D with other agents in aerial spraying trials in Innisfail."

- "too disturbing to ever be released".


Last week, the Bligh government voted down legislative amendments that would require the government to publicly disclose any health problems that may occur with using recycled water for potable use.

See - Qld Labor government votes against public disclosure of recycled water problems.

So, if problems do develop, will the Bligh or any successor government just mark the file "too disturbing to ever be released" ...
