Wallaga Lake samples test positive

ABC News reported this morning that samples removed from the Wallaga Lake Aboriginal community have been shown to have significant amounts of amosite (yellow asbestos) and chrysotile (white asbestos).

As we reported previously, the current housing of the Yuin people of this region is built directly on top of the demolished remnants of older fibro housing.
