Should the Cockburn Sound Management Council be sacked?

To follow on from the post Environmental Management of Cockburn Sound Fails, the Minister of Environment Donna Faragher claims she is going to "discuss the issues raised in the Auditor Generals report with the authorities in question".

The failures, the deception and the cover ups to protect industry must end, it is beyond time that those responsible be held accountable.

The Department of Environment and Conservation - DEC have failed time and time again, more reports more audits, more examples of failure and yet nothing ever changes and the Department remains as incompetent as ever. The DEC continues to protect industry at any cost because it is told to by its political masters.

The Cockburn Sound Management Council - CSMC once again mislead the community and have worked hand in hand with Kwinana Industries Spin Doctors to do so; Why was the CSMC not brought to task by its inept, committee that is overburdeningly weighted to protecting industry? 

Much of the community representation on CSMC is not representative of the community and does not share information with the community. Instead the committee leaves it to people like me/groups like ours to expose the wrong doings while they maintain their all too cosy relationship with industry and so called government authorities.

This latest report has confirmed for us that the CSMC is largely a waste of tax payers money, a toothless tiger working hand in hand with Kwinana Industry, willing to cover up and mislead the community to protect Kwinana Industy.

No doubt Kwinana Industry, Kwinana Industries stooges and those that insist on protecting Kwinana Industry at any cost, will continue to cry for more funding for CSMC but many of us in this community realise that the problem isn't funding, the problem is CSMC and other Government Authorities, and Industries stooges protecting industry at any cost. 

Those that pollute should be made to pay. Kwinana Industry that are licensed to pollute Cockburn Sound should be made to pay for the privilege or stop using Cockburn Sound as an industrial waste dump.
