The government is keen to spend frivolously on the likes of feminist research projects, anything to raise their international profile, but when it comes to protecting its citizens from the environmental threats known to cause cancer and other diseases, well less so.

Industry still dumps its toxic refuse into rivers and lakes and diesel belching trucks and transports are still on the nation’s roads and highways.
