Greens mining spokesperson Jeremy Buckingham has called upon Environment Minister Robyn Parker to explain why she told the ABC television’s 7.30 program that testing on potentially poisoned fish had been conducted, when the Department of Primary Industries said no such testing had taken place.
The 7.30 NSW program investigated mass fish kills in the Macleay River after a series of toxic spills from the Hillgrove antimony mine near Armidale.
“Has Minister Parker misled the public when she said tests on the fish had been done and these tests showed no link to the toxic pollution incidents,” Greens MP Jeremy Buckingham said.
