Locals short-changed in government PFAS settlement ahead of government briefing August 22

Residents in Richmond and others near the Air Force base have been disappointed by their $8 million share of a $137.4 million class action settlement with the Department of Defence over poisonous PFAS chemicals where lawyers and litigation funders took almost 40% funds. Defence admitted no liability under the settlement, despite having known about PFAS dangers for decades.

Update briefings on PFAS, which affects thousands of residents, by government officials will be held today at the Richmond Club (details and registration below) at 12pm and 5pm today.

Councillor proposal to rescue community clubs grants

Years of inaction by the Hawkesbury City Council might result in the loss of a significant new riverside sports facility. The Windsor Paddlesports Club’s three-year-old State government grant worth $801,208 is currently “hanging by a thread”.

Under pressure from the council, the club is now compelled to expend substantial sums on legal expenses to obtain a legal expert’s assessment that the construction activities have indeed “commenced.” This step is crucial to safeguard the grant, which is set to expire in  upcoming weeks. 

The legal fees will need to be covered using funds from club donations and member fees. The reasoning behind the council’s  requirement for legal advice remains puzzling. Despite the Hawkesbury Post’s inquiries, the council has declined to address any queries regarding this situation, which originates from events as far back as 2020.
