And we had an asbestos disaster here too (mostly in Québec) as you might recall with the story of Wittenoom, recounted in Midnight Oil's hit "Blue Sky Mine".

Still relevant, I fear...
And some have sailed from a distant shore And the company takes what the company wants And nothing's as precious, as a hole in the ground
Who's gonna save me? I pray that sense and reason brings us in Who's gonna save me? We've got nothing to fear
In the end the rain comes down Washes clean, the streets of a blue sky town
