7. Wandering round the internet I have seen mention of bans on azo dyes and pentachlorophenol in textiles, particle board type products with reduced or no formaldehyde, bans on aesthetic use of garden pesticides, non-pesticide methods of weed control by councils in public areas and compulsory labelling of products containing toxic ingredients. I get the feeling that monitoring progress on these sorts of issues is not a priority in Australia. When will we catch up?

I'd really like to know if any of this is being talked about at some level in this country? I've heard very little about some (the formaldehyde scare in the Northern Territory and the use of steam to kill weeds by some councils) and nothing about the rest.
