Thank you. At a recent community visit and public hearing, the PFAS select committee heard about the devastating impacts of PFAS chemicals on health, country and the loss of culture. Wreck Bay, a First Nations community on the New South Wales South Coast, is experiencing a cancer cluster, and people are dying prematurely at the highest rates in this country. They have no routine health or cancer screening, and they are still drinking PFAS contaminated water. The government has provided absolutely no health support to the community so far. Will you commit to providing regular, free health checks, including cancer screening, for the Wreck Bay community?
