what is the federal government hiding
Has the Australian Federal Government already made a secret deal with American PFAS maker, 3M to cover costs at government defence sites while screwing over the rest of long-suffering PFAS impacted Australians? The government are worst than 3M as they know the dangers and there are deceiving the people openly.
- They are knowingly polluting people and knowingly changing the rules and getting away with it.
- There are rules that people must abide by and then there are invisible rules that government operate by.
- There are made up rules telling farmers it is OK to sell heavily contaminated livestock as normal but no rules to warn people they are buying and consuming food for human consumption by pregnant women, children, health comprised - denied the choice to know what people are purchasing for their families.
- The public don’t know they are eating contaminated food because government have not made it illegal to sell it so how can people avoid these products when farmers are told not to tell them but sell it on.
- There are no labelling and no warnings of products containing PFAS so people don’t know they are being exposed yet EPAs advise people to reduce their exposure as a precautionary principle.
Government can start with the following:
- should be moving food producers away from PFAS chemicals - separate food from the risk.
- should be stopping families renting houses in contaminated areas.
- should be shutting down bores that are pumping PFAS contaminated groundwater to grow food.
Mixed messages by govt - too late for too many people
The Australian Government are also sending mixed messages, Federal Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek has confirmed the federal government will now effectively ban three of the most notorious “forever chemicals” made by US manufacturer 3M by the end of this year.
This is applying some very small oversight and accountability decades after the cancer clusters have already emerged.
There are still some major industry sectors in Australia, the wastewater and packaging industries, saying the government must expand a limited ban on toxic "forever chemicals" as concerns mount over human and environmental health risks.

The sad irony is the Australian Federal Government are doing to its citizens the same that 3M has done to the world – HIDE THE TRUTH
- In 2020, the Australian Government paid $212 million to three communities polluted by foam used on military bases.
- But pays $132.7m to 30,000 residents in 2023.
- If Australia has not already sought compensation from 3M then why are they not suing them now on behalf of the many Australian individuals exposed to AFFF that has caused them to develop an illness linked with long term exposure.
- There is potential that the 6 year period has passed since impacted Australian communities were warned of potential PFAS contamination so may be ineligible for compensation. Government know this but the potential to sue 3M may be the last opportunity individuals have.
The question remains, has Australia already made or proposed a deal with 3M?
This blog site exists exposing the Australian Federal Government's disinformation agenda via outdated government pages and manipulation of the facts that even has respectable international journals confounded. The following webpages provide all the evidence with corruption at its worst.
- There has been two failed Senate Inquiries in 2015/16 and 2018 and no recommendations implemented.
- Many PFAS stories by investigative reporter, Carrie Fellner for The Sydney Morning Herald. Unfortunately some are behind a paywall but their intent to drive out deep rooted corruption and coverup of PFAS in Australia is clear.
- The culmination of all these exposés will be explosive for the federal government and the current and past Ministers, relevant MPs, past & present, including all bureaucrats and public servants who facilitated PFAS' unlawful mismanagement.
Dept of health - going under the radar
Australia's health department is going under the radar for failing the Australia people. According to their webpage on environmental toxins, PFAS exposure has not been shown to cause disease in humans. However, it has been associated with mildly elevated levels of cholesterol, effects on kidney function and effects on the levels of some hormones.
Their enHealth fact sheets are atrocious and can't even bother to update access to PFAS information.
While their webpage is dangerously lacking critical information to protect the public, the Dept of Health & Aged Care have recently been caught out via an FOI on a dodging health study in NSW.
The facts behind that story is pending.
