Someone I know was actually included in one of these reports and was on the news here in Australia

Really nice guy

Anyone who thinks this isn't serious are kidding themselves, last I heard, he'd lost a huge amount of lung function. Hopefully pink Batts are next. They can't be healthy

The crap thing are the people still arguing that should keep doing them, because they care too much what people think about their houses.

There is literally no good reason risking yourself for some rich asshole, and I regret a lot of things I did as a tradie now installing cables like climbing in potentially asbestos contaminated dirt under houses
