\u201cIf the tunnel workers shouldn\u2019t be exposed to those levels of PFAS, then you shouldn\u2019t be exposed to those levels of PFAS\u201d \u2013 those were the impassioned words of just one of many speakers at a community rally against the dumping of contaminated soil in Bacchus Marsh.
\nColleen Hartland, from the National Toxic Network, was addressing a 1,500 strong crowd gathered at a community rally.
\nHeld at the Village Green by the Bacchus Marsh Community Coalition on Tuesday 10 March, the crowd covered every age demographic \u2013 even babies were brought along.
\nAll of Moorabool\u2019s East Ward Councillors attended, including Mayor David Edwards \u2013 Liberal Senator Bev McArthur was there, as were local people who spoke on the night.
\nKat Barlow, rally organiser said the community shouldn\u2019t have been there that night \u2013 they should have been at home with their families.
\n\u201cTonight, we are expressing our anger and frustration. Our community is not a toxic waste dump, this is where our food grows and our children go to school, why would the government risk an important food source. Our community doesn\u2019t want this, doesn\u2019t deserve this.
\n\u201cDan Andrews – your silence is deafening,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
