State to check major projects after deadly asbestos found at $1.2b children’s hospital

Hot off the press:

“Two major State Government projects will be checked for asbestos contamination after deadly fibres were found in roofing panels of the new $1.2b children’s hospital.

The State Government announced the audit this morning after Health Minister John Day said tests had confirmed the asbestos.

The roof of the hospital will be replaced and could further delay its opening.

Premier Colin Barnett said the latest problem with construction of the hospital meant builder John Holland would struggle to win other Government contracts.

The contaminated panels were supplied to John Holland by a company called Yuanda.”

Yuanda (Chinese subcontractor) are supplying the façade at the New Perth Stadium, as a result we have had state government health inspectors on site all day.

Some of the newspapers are suggesting JH are sourcing ever more Chinese products since their take over last year.

All Fran’s fault….!
