O'FARRELL BACKFLIPS ON REPLACING UNFLUED HEATERS

NO HOPE FOR UNFLUED HEATERS TO BE REPLACED IN BEGA & SOUTH COAST SCHOOLS

The O'Farrell Government has broken its election promise to replace unflued gas heaters in Bega and South Coast public schools – despite warnings the heaters pose health risks to children and need to be replaced, Duty MLC for Bega and South Coast, Penny Sharpe said today.

"In Opposition, the O'Farrell Government campaigned on replacing unflued gas heaters – but now they are in power, they have turned their backs on local schools and broken their promise," Ms Sharpe said.
