Parkinson’s Australia has welcomed yesterday's establishment of a parliamentary inquiry into a government watchdog’s failure to ban a herbicide that is globally linked to an increased risk of Parkinson's.

Senators Pocock and Steele-John talk about why an inquiry is needed to determine how the APVMA came up with their decision to NOT #BanParaquat in Australia.

After 30 years of the APVMA reviewing the highly toxic chemical, and in that time over 70 countries and a number of US States have banned it, we ask, why not here?
