The Hon Joel Fitzgibbon MP Member for Hunter, New South Wales: Inquiry into the health impacts of mining, transporting & exporting coal.

The issue

"The environment and health are indivisibly. It is not possible to ensure good health in an unhealthy environment.There are specific health effects of coal mining.
Of all the resources to mine, coal is probably the most treacherous.Each step of its life cycle, mining, transportation, washing, combustion and disposal of post combustion waste have impacts on human health". Why doesn’t our elected representative want an inquiry?
