Hello all,    this program transcript produced by Mark Horstman, Scientific Journalist of the ABC Radio National Background Briefing entitled Chemical Consequences from Sunday 18th April, 2004 is now available at http://www.abc.net.au/rn/talks/bbing/stories/s1092132.htm

Excerpt:  - This story starts nearly 30 years ago in West Australia's remote Kimberley region, where a State Government's use of 245-T and 24D has come back to haunt us.

 

Not just as an isolated incident a long time ago, but a wake-up call for our protectors of public health and the medical profession, because these herbicides have been used  in large amounts in every State.  And today, medicine is under the microscope, as people discover that science is unable to resolve their illnesses when they don't follow the textbook.  End excerpt.      Di Buckland, Australia
