I was told the level of exposure to the dangerous, corrosive and cancerous chemicals was akin to the level following a chemical warfare attack on a daily basis. I mentioned reports I had seen earlier. The reports I saw were from 22 years ago, 20 years ago and three years ago. They highlighted the lack of identification for chemicals, the fact that there was cross-contamination of chemicals and no personal protective equipment, and a number of other issues. I cannot fathom why the military authorities here did not take action around the same time that the Australian authorities were taking action on the very same matter in 2000.
