Tess Dickie is a principal lawyer at Gordon Legal, with a particular interest in asbestos and occupational lung disease including silicosis.
As a parent who has seen the devastating effects exposure can have, my worst nightmare is my children playing at a park and coming into contact with asbestos.
The proposed quarry on the Mornington Peninsula is likely to create airborne pollutants, including silica dust, in the area over many years.
