The federal government has for the first time publicly apologised to the Jervis Bay community about the impact PFAS contamination of their land has had on their lives.
Speaking at a community meeting in the PFAS-contaminated town of Jervis Bay, Assistant Defence Minister Matt Thistlethwaite said he understood the Jervis Bay community, which is predominantly Aboriginal, had different issues to other communities in terms of the cultural impact caused by PFAS.
