A Melbourne storage company says a huge stockpile of mislabelled toxic waste was transferred to it under false pretences. Now, it will need to spend more than $1 million to clean up. | EXCLUSIVE

A Melbourne storage company says it will be forced to the wall by an Environment Protection Authority order requiring it to spend more than $1 million to clean up a huge stockpile of mislabelled toxic waste transferred to it under false pretences.

Regulators inspecting containers of toxic waste abandoned by Bradbury Industrial Services at the storage facility run by David Barry LogisticsThe waste came from Bradbury Industrial Services, the chemical recycling business now facing dozens of charges over its alleged misconduct.

The clean-up from the alleged dumping of chemical waste by the syndicate in 13 other warehouses in Melbourne's northern suburbs has already cost the state government an estimated $56 million. The government is also paying to clean up after an industrial blaze at a West Footscray warehouse in August 2018, as well as at a huge stockpile buried on a property near the South Australian border.

'Youngest COVID-19 victim' may have died of another causeWhen the Premier announced last month that a man in his 20s had died of coronavirus, it made headlines. Now that diagnosis has been questioned. When we allow the imagination to run free we may find that it throws up some frightening ideas.

I can see that being a winner up and down the coast - NOT. Increased protection of the trees and the Koalas is a mandatory choice, necessary because the trees are all that is protecting a lot of the world from the heat of the sun, and there are already too many animals having to negotiate roads with cars that are killing them.
