The auditor-general has criticised the management and disposal of hazardous waste in Victoria.

In a report tabled in State Parliament today, the auditor-general says the Environment Protection Authority (EPA) is failing to regulate the management of dangerous waste; including explosive, corrosive, toxic and radioactive materials.

It says the EPA's monitoring and inspection activities "lack coherence, purpose and coordination."
The Auditor General slams Victoria EPA.

I wonder will this encourage the EPA to move things along, or are the afraid to do business with a company that is currently being funded by leeches.

By the way where is Mango?

The report finds the EPA is poor at record keeping and can not guarantee that vehicles used to transport hazardous waste are safe.

The auditor-general found the EPA's performance is "inadequate" given the risk to the community.

He found "serious deficiencies pervade most of the monitoring and compliance activities" providing "little assurance that the EPA is effectively regulating hazardous waste."

The EPA's chief executive, John Merritt, says he has "got the message" and acknowledged improvements are necessary.
