Rumours are terrible things but so too is finding asbestos in a renovation. What do you do about it? Hush it up? Fess up? The risk of doing nothing is enormous but if you can blame shift you have something of a dilemma on your hands – like who can you load the responsibility onto.This weekend on ABC Radio there was a program – Background Briefing ... click here – about asbestos in Tasmania. So if you had heard it and you overhear a conversation about asbestos being found "at the museum in the renovations" and the speculation that it is "being kept quiet" you have to worry just a little.
If the Aldermen are being kept out of it why would this be? Why hasn't the Council put out a media release? Is there going to be a cost blowout? Will this mean the ratepayers will have to bear the costs? What are the costs? What are the actual risks? Is the museum contemplating an exhibition on asbestos?
Now all this is going to be characterised as "alarmist" but what is actually alarming is the idea that there is a risk that is being swept under the carpet. After that, it is a bit of worry as to just how much it is going to cost the long suffering ratepayers.
