#Australia - #KatherineNT residents say potential damages from #PFAS firefighting foam case should pay for further 'recompense'
by James Elton, 1 June, 2026
Excerpt: "PFASContamination in Katherine was first announced by Defence in 2016 — the result of decades of use of PFAS-containing firefighting foam at #Tindal, which sits above a large and interconnected #aquifer.
"In the immediate aftermath, Katherine's town pool was closed and Defence trucked in bottled water.
"Commonwealth to sue the manufacturer of a firefighting foam containing PFAS chemicals that contaminated 28 #DefenceForce bases across Australia.
"A class action, settled in 2020, resulted in Defence paying $92.5 million to Katherine home owners and businesses to compensate for lost property value, as part of a broader class action that also included Williamtown in NSW and Oakey in Queensland.
"Today, Katherine's town drinking water supply is thoroughly treated using a specialised plant to keep PFAS levels below minimum thresholds.
"But residents with bores in the contamination zone are still advised not to drink their groundwater or eat eggs from chickens that drink water from the bores.
"A 2018 health assessment commissioned by Defence also found there was an 'elevated risk' for anyone who ate fish caught in the #KatherineRiver on a regular basis, defined as one fish per week.
"A Senate inquiry into the issue last year heard evidence that assessment had affected #Aboriginal people in the region, who had historically eaten large quantities and varieties of fish and crustaceans from the river."

#Australian #WitchettyGrub Recipe
April 28, 2023
"A witchetty grub is the larva of the witchetty bush cricket, considered a delicacy by some Indigenous Australians. It is high in protein and is usually eaten either raw or cooked. The raw grubs have a nutty flavor, while the cooked grubs taste like scrambled eggs [I think they taste a bit like scallops].
"The traditional way of cooking witchetty grubs is to roast them on hot coals, although they can also be boiled or fried. Witchetty grubs are still consumed by Indigenous communities in Australia today, and are sometimes served as a novelty dish in restaurants or available for purchase in specialty food stores.
Origin & Cultural Significance
"Witchetty grubs have been a staple food source for #IndigenousAustralians for thousands of years. The witchetty bush cricket is found in arid regions of Australia, and its larvae are an important food source for many Indigenous communities. The grubs are high in protein and provide a valuable source of nutrition in an environment where food can be scarce.
"In Indigenous culture, the witchetty grub holds great cultural significance and is considered a sacred food source. The grubs are often gathered by women and children and are a crucial part of many traditional hunting and gathering practices. The grubs are also an important part of Indigenous storytelling and cultural practices, and have been passed down from generation to generation as a symbol of cultural heritage and tradition.
"Today, witchetty grubs continue to be an important part of Indigenous culture, and are sometimes served as a novelty dish in restaurants or available for purchase in specialty food stores. However, the use of witchetty grubs as a food source has declined in recent years as Indigenous communities have been exposed to a wider range of foods and Western diets. Nevertheless, the witchetty grub remains an important symbol of Indigenous culture and heritage, and its cultural significance continues to be recognized and celebrated."
