The LNP's claims today are fabricated and simply incorrect. Here are the facts. My office was sent a copy of advice from the independent regulator on the matter on May 12, 2021, which said: "On 13 May 2021 the most recent groundwater results will be provided to Arrow and released to adjacent landholders as part of DES' regular engagement and existing data sharing arrangements." When I became aware of reports that adjacent landholders had only been provided with results from bores on their properties, I directed the department to provide advice on the contamination found on the Kummerows Road bores. Any suggestion by the LNP of a cover up by me is absolute nonsense, particularly given I provided them with information in relation to contamination last year to a public Question on Notice
