For example, there was no obligation on governments to say to other workplace asbestos victims, look, you can't quite identify that factory that you worked in 45 years ago as tracing back to James Hardie.

But we'll step in because it's unfair that you're excluded.

Conversations

You got this disease from some asbestos.

Conversations
A race against time to help my friend dying from mesothelioma

We should take care of you.

Conversations

Conversations
A race against time to help my friend dying from mesothelioma

Yeah.

Conversations
A race against time to help my friend dying from mesothelioma

I mean, I didn't know what I was getting myself into, really.

Conversations
A race against time to help my friend dying from mesothelioma

So, and I didn't really understand much of it at first, but neither did they, neither did Jum and Bruce.

Conversations
A race against time to help my friend dying from mesothelioma

Yeah.

Conversations
A race against time to help my friend dying from mesothelioma

Look, a couple of people said to me, oh, you should just march.

Conversations
A race against time to help my friend dying from mesothelioma

You've been on television.

Conversations

You should march down to Canberra and have a meeting with Greg Hunt and get him to, the health minister, sort it out.
