Today we formally launch Asbestos Awareness Australia Limited – a registered charity.
https://asbestosawarenessaustralia.com.au/
This show explains why we have launched this initiative, in a effort to protect the estimated 4,000 or so people who each year are diagnosed with a life shortening un-treatable man-made and totally preventable disease. And that is just in Australia!
“The politicization of science is used by industry to immobilise debate, by excluding the victims and the public from participation in the conflict. That exclusion is a political strategy which is rarely, if ever, justified by the nature of the explanation involved, or by the methodology physicians use in researching diseases and their cause. What needs to be done is to transfer the asbestos controversy into the public arena, so that the issue is no longer seen or defined as a technical problem for experts in the legal, medial, technocratic and bureaucratic spheres to debate unhindered by an informed public”.
(Jock McCulloch, Asbestos: Its Human Cost 1986)
