As stated in yesterdays blog post:
"Kwinana Mayor Carol Adams said she cannot stress enough how lucky the Kwinana Community was to be in close proximity to the most important industrial area in Western Australia"
Interestingly also yesterday, this article on asthma research appeared in the West Australian newspaper:
"About 1 in 25 children admitted to hospital for asthma could be there as a result of inhaled particles from air pollution, government scientists have found"Other posts on this subject include:
Particulate pollution in Kwinana, and the protection policy that is incapable of protecting.

Well it seems pretty clear who the mayor owes her allegiance to. Clearly it is not the ratepayers who elected her but the industries that pull the political strings in our town.
After spending 3 nights by my young son's bed in Princess Margaret Hospital while he struggled with low oxygen levels from asthma I find the mayor's comments the height or arrogance and ignorance - a dangerous combination for a public figure.
A real people's Mayor would demand a cut in air pollution from Kwinana industry with more scrubbers and pollution control. Or perhaps she thinks they can't afford it as they all just scrape by during the economic boom. Sickening, cynical politics. Hope Mayor Adams repeats her comment during the next mayoral election and gets the vote she deserves.
Thanks for the comment LM, Sorry to hear your son has been so unwell, hope things improve for you and him real soon,
People PLEASE be a bit careful with your comments, I have had to reject too many comments on both today's and yesterday's posts because of fears of legal ramifications.
