There is no reason not to send livestock to market from these areas. As I was trying to outline to the senator, the Commonwealth, state and territory health authorities work together to ensure that human health advice and guidance on PFAS is incorporated into PFAS environmental investigations and is known and understood by affected communities. There is ongoing consultation and communication with affected communities, and there is no reason to assume that there is any reason not to consume produce that is grown on these sites.
