About 200 Canberrans made their way to Namadgi School in Kambah on Thursday night, for the first of two health forums for those affected by the ACT’s Mr Fluffy crisis.
Couples and families with young children turned out to listen to Canberra’s top health officials explain the possible risks associated with asbestos exposure.
Asbestos Response Taskforce head Andrew Kefford said the health forum had been a request made at a previous Mr Fluffy forum hosted by chief minister Katy Gallagher.
He said, as a result, one forum had been arranged relatively quickly and a second one would be held on the 3rd August, on the northside of Canberra.
