Step up,
Mr Toby Ellis, General Manager of Facilities Rio Tinto, personally picked by the Vice President of Health , Safety, Environment and Communities Cecile Thaxter after we had to contact her to deal with the incompetence of the last "investigation" team.
So Toby Ellis comes in with his team of Merry cover up experts to tidy up the mess Sarah Newland and Brendon Podmore (I’m going to cover off each individual later) left. They agree for Microanalysis to do the testing under pressure from us, where they find asbestos throughout the house, every room, even inside the ducting. Every surface they tested. Then along with Laurie Glossop, came up with a report, saying the 4 types of Asbestos found came from outside, on our shoes/clothes, it’s naturally occurring( two of them aren’t even native to Australia ), it came from works around town, off our clothes, and that if “the young family living there had concerns they should seek medical advise” to which no professional would see our children, it’s too difficult to predict and definitely not be ‘reassured’ as Toby Ellis offered to pay a respiratory specialist to tell us. That offer disappeared when we couldn’t find one that would see our children. Mr Glossop, I’m publicly going to ask you, as I have the others, would you raise your children in that environment? No one has answered that question yet and we have asked them all. We picked apart the 'independent' report that Mr Glossop wrote but Toby Ellis refused to discuss the many biased, avoidant comments or lack thereof that Mr Glossop made.
Our greatest fears had finally come to light, as we expected, after 3 investigations, they could not cover up anymore, their apologies held no water, Toby started fumbling, he refused to answer any of our concerns and questions, test other homes for a comparison, misled us on the type of SMF’s we were also exposed to, tried to send all of our contaminated belongings to Perth after being simply wiped down by Sodexo and when the questions got too hard for him he just turned to his legal team, and Brendon Boyd who stumbled also, he turned to Melissa Joyce from Minter Ellison Lawyers, the big guns, the ones they turn to when they are sinking, Toby was panicking now, his empathy quickly changed to annoyance, like we had done something wrong, that’s right, we had, we had help up the great iron train, how dare us!
The negotiations begun, Melissa was so nice, she was so sorry, she knew how we felt, she's a mother...blah blah blah, we know lawyers, they defend rapists, murderers, pedophiles, and people who mess up and hide behind large corporate banners. Well we love our kids, and we are not afraid! We were not taking their rubbish.
