Communities throughout Australia, including some near Sydney, Melbourne and in Queensland, are already experiencing environmental problems with pesticides and Chromium VI, according to Erin Brockovich. Brockovich is working with Australian communities, providing advice on litigation, and supporting the community, including voicing her support for Terri and Bindi Irwin's fight to protect the 135,000 Steve Irwin Wildlife Reserve, a conservation area in Cape York Peninsula currently threatened by strip mining.

Gardasil HPV Vaccine Hoax Exposed


Erin On Gardasil Watch

Is Someone Paging Erin to Run for Office?

This blogger ROBERT STEIN speculates..."If Brockovich does well, she could follow in the footsteps of John Edwards who parlayed a career in negligence law into a Senate seat and a shot at the presidential nomination. Then again, maybe not."
