Lead-safety Message: This is where my journey began with lead and I’ve spent more than 40 years telling my story so this cycle of lead mine lead poisoning can be broken. New lead mines are not going to fulfil any of the promises broken repeatedly by existing lead mines and by the governments that support mines instead of people. Sign the Circular Economy for Lead petition at https://www.aph.gov.au/e-petitions/petition/EN6714 before it closes on Wed 04 Dec 2024 11:59 PM (AEDT) to keep lead safely in the ground, like wise First Nations Australians have done for tens of thousands of years.
Description of Work: Poster with a photo of my sons’ first back yard beside the mine train line in Gaffney Street, and the Melissa Sweet SMH 12th April 1997 article Mother blames mine trains for three frail sons.
