Parents from Darlington State School in the Scenic Rim area were interviewed by reporters from Channel Nine news Tuesday 29 April 2008. The school has been closed for over a week now and students relocated to Hillview State School to reduce any further potential health issues. The school is being decontaminated.
The reporters from Channel Nine news also interviewed a local resident whose property was also subject to a similar event earlier. There are potentially many unfortunate environmental outcomes arisng from using dangerous chemicals - even when used as directed. All families in this area of the Scenic Rim usually enjoy drinking the water which they harvest and store - but what water can they drink now? Roofs and tanks have to be decontaminated.
What are stock going to drink? How can we "clean the creeks" for the wildlife? There are many questions but answers?
Planning for a community public meeting to be held at Kerry Memorial Hall is well underway.
