00:00For Michelle Phillippe, the Swan Bank report has been a long time coming.
00:06It's a lot of stress and anxiety and anger, just with these companies not really caring
00:11what they're doing.
00:12For the past four years, the Ipswich resident has suffered from painful ailments.
00:17I was covered in rashes, I looked like a Burns victim, my eyes were swollen.
00:21She joins thousands of residents who feel relieved after a state government inquiry
00:26found the highly offensive stink has negatively impacted their health and wellbeing.
00:31This report vindicates something that our residents have known for over a decade.
00:36We have had waste industries for a long time who have broken the law for profit.
00:41They have ignored the health of residents, they have thumbed their nose up at the law
00:45and today that stops.
00:46The public health inquiry did not find any evidence of an increased risk of cancer in
00:51the exposed population or that the odours are toxic.
00:55The state government has committed to supporting all eight of the recommendations to reduce
00:59the smell, including prohibiting future residential developments from encroaching within waste facilities
01:05and establishing an inter-department committee.
01:07Importantly, there is a transition plan in place for the composting industry to adopt best
01:12practice odour management.
01:14A dedicated Swan Bank health hotline has also been set up to help residents impacted by the stink.
01:20For many in the area, the results have been vindicating and they are now considering their legal
01:25options.
01:26Not quite over yet, but I have been able to relax a lot more seeing as the odours haven't
01:31been as present in Ripley.
01:32Thank you so much as my understanding of my opinion.
01:38I think that's a great idea of the Glen Cooms in the world.
01:39I think that's the most important part of this project.
01:42I think that's the best part of the Apartments in the world, and it has been a great idea of the
01:44revue.
01:45Thank you so much for being able to relax a lot.
01:46You and me will see the difference between two of us.
01:50Yes, this is a big part of the island of the island.
