Swan River Trust decides not to prosecute after fish kill

An estimated 80 black bream died in a South Perth lake when groundwater with particularly high levels of ammonia and sulphides was pumped into the lake under a permit. The Swan River Trust decided there are not reasonable grounds for prosecution. Another similar fish kill at the Barrack St. jetty is being investigated.http://portal.environment.wa.gov.au/pls/portal/url/ITEM/56E33FFEC8CC41ACE04010AC6E056F62

Yea Bear its just not good enough. the likes of the water authority etc get away with murder, all there pumping stations are on the swan and a power failure ore pump failure and the sewer goes straigt into the Swan and up the PH level goes and the fish just cant survive. Thats my winge 4 today.

Oh know we cant prosecute the Water Corp can we? they are a government body. If it was a non government body that caused this do you think they would have be prosecuted??:confused:
