TICK TOCK HARFWIT, PFOS IS CATCHING UP TO YOU
Shine Lawyers has received unconditional funding from IMF Bentham to bring another class action against the Department of Defence over alleged land contamination near an army base, this time in the Northern Territory.
The first IMF-backed class action was filed by Dentons in the Federal Court in Sydney in November 2016 over alleged contamination at the Williamtown air force base in New South Wales. That case has entered mediation and a trial date has been set for August 12, 2019.
Another Shine-led, IMF-backed class action over alleged PFOS and PFOA contamination was brought in Federal Court in Sydney in July on behalf of property owners near the Army Aviation Centre in Oakey, Queensland. The lawsuit claims the DoD allowed the contamination to leak and cause damage to nearby properties and that DoD should be on the hook for compensating those harmed by the contamination.
Other army bases being investigated for contamination are the Jervis Bay Range Facility in the Australian Capital Territory; the RAAF Base Richmond, Holsworthy Barracks, HMAS Albatross and the RAAF Base Wagga in New South Wales; the RAAF Base Darwin and Robertson Barracks in the Northern Territory; RAAF Base Townsville and RAAF Base Amberley in Queensland; RAAF Base Edinburgh in South Australia; RAAF Base East Sale, Bandiana Military Area and HMAS Cerberus in Victoria; HMAS Stirling, Fleet Base West and RAAF Base Pearce in Western Australia.

Perhaps the escalating PFOS issue, ATC fatigue, budget problems, the Nonesky project folly, things almost going bump in the night in Tasmania and so the list goes on is the reason why the gutless bus driver Houstoblame decided to abandon the sinking ship before getting pushed?
