As a tragic consequence, Australia now has the highest per capita incidence of mesothelioma in the world.

After losing my husband to mesothelioma I know first hand the suffering this cruel diseaseto his innocent victims.
There were many speakers and each told a story of pain, death and heartbreak. We listened, we understood and we ached for the past, present and future victims of the killer asbestos and its legacy of mesothelioma and other asbestos-induced diseases. We have listened and we were shocked and angered to learn that despite the growing awareness of the dangers of asbestos and the increasing incidence of asbestos related diseases, some countries remainAsbestos, mining industry with little or no regard for their workers or people who come into contact with asbestos products.
