The Minister for A g r i c u l t u r e and Fisheries,

Mr. Hallam has also released the report of the New

The Committee, which was chaired by Mr. Walter Lewer,
former Deputy Chief Stipendiary Magistrate, received 109
submissions.
Its recommendations have been substantially
adopted by Cabinet.
Cabinet has decided that:
1.
The legal limit of TCflD (dioxin) contaminant in
2,4,5-T will be reduced from the present limit of
0.1 parts per m i l l i o n to 0.01 parts per million.
"The
level has been lowered on the universally
accepted principle that concentrations of toxic
substances should be reduced to the minimum
achicveable."
The New South Wales standard is now
equal to that applying in V i c t o r i a and the U.K.
2.
The higher v o l a t i l e ester f o r m u l a t i o n s of 2,4,5-T

garden stores, nurserifs, hardware stores and
similar retailers.

n.-ichincs w i l l Le p r o h i b i t r d . "A r.pccific p e r m i t vould

5.
Application of 2,4,5-T within a distance of 50 metres
of any inhabited dwelling, public building, dam, river,
water channel, or stream would also require a permit.
6.
To prevent the possibility of consumption, all
application of 2,4,5-T to blackberries bearing ripe
fruit will be prohibited.
7.
All applicants for registration of 2,4,5-T will be
required to keep records, and make returns, of the
amount sold or supplied in N.S.W.
8.
To protect employees, all workers including Government
and Local Government, will be required to wear
protective clothing when mixing or using 2,4,5-T.
Employees will be required to wear a boiler type suit
with sleeves and buttoned at the wrists and throat,
gauntlet gloves, washable hat and impervious boots or
shoes. When mixing, a face shield is to be worn; and
when working in any spray drift, a respirator.
"Employers will be required to provide the protective
clothing to employees," Mr. Hallam said.
9.
Government and Local Government employees exposed to
2,4,5-T will be required to undergo regular medical
examinations to measure occupational exposure.
10.
Employers will be required to give appropriate
training to employees on the correct use of 2,4,5-T.
11.
"Defective equipment in respect to leakages, spillages
and spray output will not be allowed," Mr. Hallam said.
"The Government has taken account of the A.C.T.U.
Executive recommendations on this chemical.
"An Advisory Committee on pesticides has been established
The Committee is to consist of senior officers representing
various Government Departments together with a Trade Union
representative and a rrprcccntative of cnviroimental groups.
�-3The broad terms of reference of the Committee are to:
*
Keep certain pesticides under review; including the
uses to be allowed for such pesticides;
*
Examine new proposed uses of pesticides, where it is
considered special circumstances exist; and
*
Receive representations, in person and in writing,
from trade unions, environmental '• *
and other
*
••
organisations; and consider t.he evidence presented.

^^ '
In addition the Pesticides Act,- 1978, will be amended
to require the licensing of aircraft app'lid'ators and pilots.
\
"Pilots will be required to demonstrate they are aware
of the problems associated with pesticides, and use of these
chemicals from aircraft," Mr. Hallam said.
"Licences could be suspended or even cancelled if
infringements occur."
Proprietors of agricultural aircraft operations will be
required to hold an appropriate insurance policy to cover loss
or damage.
"Aircraft will be required to be approved beforehand
and records of all spraying 'operations must be kept. These
records will be available to Inspectors at any time, or to other
persons upon reasonable reques't," Mr. Hallam said.
