After the blog post of yesterday asking should the Cockburn Sound Management Council - CSMC be sacked? I think this media article of today, wherein Kwinana Industry goes to bat for CSMC answers that question perfectly.
CSMC have since around 2007/8 been over protective of Kwinana Industry and it became obvious that something was wrong when Kwinana Industry and Cockburn Sound Management Council worked hand in hand to mislead the community over the state of Cockburn Sound, now Kwinana Industry has come out protecting CSMC, this has just answered the question for me.
Cockburn Sound Management Council should be sacked, but of course they won't be, because deep down this is exactly how the government and our politicians want it to be.
Interesting in this article Kwinana Industry makes the claim "Industry do not pollute". In the years I have been attempting to keep Kwinana Industry honest (and obviously I have failed miserably) I have heard some ripper claims, but this just takes the cake - "Industry do not pollute".
Hello, Kwinana Industry does pollute - big time; Kwinana industry pollutes the air, Kwinana industry pollutes the land and Kwinana industry pollutes the water and has a 50 year history of doing so.
Kwinana industries such as Tiwest, for example, still pump industrial waste into Cockburn Sound. Waste such as Radionuclide's (radioactive material) and cadmium. Industries like BP for example use Cockburn Sound water for cooling, they add to this water chemicals such as Chlorine and discharge the water back to Cockburn Sound. Sound pollution and light pollution from Kwinana Industry impacts on Cockburn Sound and its marine life.
Groundwater polluted by industry still enters Cockburn Sound, for example hydrocarbons from BP, Arsenic from Wesfarmers CSBP, Ammonium Sulphate etc, etc, etc.
For Kwinana Industry to claim they do not pollute is a joke, but sadly the joke is on this community and our environment.
Lets not forget that industry in Kwinana are licensed by the government (DEC) to pollute.

I am sure that if you had bothered to read the OAG report you would have found that the CSMC has not, repeat NOT misled the community. You make repeated comment that the CSMC is in bed with Industry, prove it and show how this has occurred. The OAG report has found a number of very small monitoring errors, none of which has changed any reporting on the environmental health of Cockburn Sound, and as such all of your so called evidence is put to bed, trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill does nothing to improve environmental outcomes in the region and you should be ashamed of your negative and uninformed drivel that supposedly informs the community. Get a life you loser.
