Power Without Glory

http://www.abc.net.au/4corners/stories/s251859.htm

Continuing government cover-up of asbestos health disaster in Australia

From 1924, when the first State Electricity Commission (SEC) power station opened, thousands of tonnes of asbestos were used for insulation. No protection was afforded the workers until the late 1970s. Even during the last few years, the close-knit community has been subjected to clouds of dust as old power stations have been dismantled.

Respiratory physician calls for mass screening of asbestos victims
The World Socialist Web Site interviewed Dr Tony Sasse, a respiratory physician working in the town of Traralgon in Australia’s Latrobe Valley, where diseases associated with asbestos contamination in the Valley’s power stations have reached epidemic proportions.
