The Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council has launched a class action against the federal government for loss of culture after the chemical contamination of Jervis (Jarvis) Bay water.
The residents of Wreck Bay, on the New South Wales south coast, allege Defence negligently allowed the harmful PFAS chemicals to leech into groundwater.
Traditional Owner James Williams says that he can’t teach the younger generation like he was taught, Defence has erected signs warning against fishing from waterways in the area.
