Any spill in the river is bad in my opinion .

As far as i know
The official outcome was " an unknown diesel spill with little environmental impact " And no further investigation that i can find.
Pathetic investigation by the DEP, just like every other time sewerage or poisons have been let go in the river.

Make you want to be sick
On one hand we have a gov department seeding the river with prawns (well done) then on the other we have another dept sitting on their hands and not tracking down the source of the spill and taking measures to stop or help stop it happening again.

Yep
And as said above, bad water management has seen thousands of Marron killed.
Pathetic response from the authorities.
