Bill GreenDON'T KILL YOUR KIDS THIS SUMMER

Swimming in Port Phillip Bay this summer will not be a healthy option. The toxic sludge deposited in the Bay waters is already spreading beyond the areas that the Port of Melbourne assured us that it would never reach.
What did they expect once they departed from the original policy of having world's best practice dredging in favor of dumping the poisons only a few kilometers from where they excavated it? Now the waters of the Bay will be stirred with toxic chemicals every time there is a wind over 15 knots, which is rather regular for those waters).
This summer parents should not allow their children to swim in the bay waters and that includes Portsea's bay beach (thought I'd mention it to remind all those influential people they should have complained about the dredging that required three panels to get to the point where they had enough YES people to enable the disaster to proceed.
Now that the monitoring equipment itself is killing the larger creatures in the bay (two seals), and reporting the spreading of the poisons, those concerned should be planning their legal course. The UN has given us thE grounds to take it all to the international court.
