“Any pollution from the mine going into the lower Watut river then into the Markham River and down into the Huon Gulf will have a devastating effect on the lives of thousands of people,’’ he said.
“The new leader for Huon Gulf must focus his attention on this issue and ensure that Government and the developers of this huge mine do everything possible to protect the livelihood of the Huon Gulf people.
“This is a huge environmental issue that must be carefully addressed to avoid problems such as experienced with the Fly River and also on Bougainville.’’
