Episode 9: 'Asbestos Removal in Australia - The view from the front line'

And again, the Blue Mountains in New South Wales is basically 100% national park.
C
45:45Cameron LittleGUEST
And unfortunately, there's always going to be people in society doing the wrong thing.
C
45:51Cameron LittleGUEST
And so we are often engaged by national parks and wildlife to clean up illegally tipped materials from various areas surrounding the Blue Mountains and even further.
C
46:03Cameron LittleGUEST
national park areas and the problem with national parks is they do have a limited budget and so they assess what is of the highest risk to people before they can allocate funds and so oftentimes if material is tipped kilometers away from known and used walking tracks and paths they will put it on a register and until they have suitable funds or excess money It just sits there.
C
46:33Cameron LittleGUEST
They're aware of it, but they can't afford to have anybody come and remediate the area.
C
46:38Cameron LittleGUEST
And so when we have asbestos and other just general anthropogenic materials, mattresses, timbers, sitting around for long enough, and it doesn't take long, it starts becoming home to a Up towards Lithgow, about an hour further west from the Blue Mountains, the population of funnel web spiders, which is probably one of Australia's gnarliest spiders, the number of times I've encountered funnel webs.

So Cameron, what's the quality of the asbestos removal in Australia, in your opinion, and how can it be improved?
