Commercial pressure is being put on countries who want the Chinese Government to be transparent about this disaster. Australia is under enormous pressure. The EU has been put under pressure. We need all free countries to stand together in support of the truth.
Our country has lost so much. Our Government owes it to us to do all in its power to find out why, and to make sure we are not exposed like this again.
