I thank Senator Thorpe for the question. I will have to come back to you with an answer on that. I am aware of the research that's been done around the harmful effects of PFAS, both the occupational impact of PFAS and some of the health impacts consequentially of living close to contaminated sites. I think we are learning more and more about PFAS as more research is done into it. So I am aware of that and some of the concerns particularly around cancer clusters relating to PFAS.

In relation to Wreck Bay, I will have to come back to you. I will see if something that has just been handed to me provides me with any further information around Wreck Bay. I'm not sure it does. But I can understand if there is a cancer cluster there that people are genuinely concerned. I will take further advice on what information and support can be provided.
