McArthur river pollution: Glencore yet to put up all warning signs a year after alert

Freedom of information requests unearth inconsistent messaging from miner and Northern Territory government on the extent of heavy metal contamination

Glencore has yet to finish erecting signs warning of contaminated river life near a Northern Territory mine more than a year after the miner and the state government became aware of elevated levels of heavy metals.

Government documents have revealed inconsistencies in the information given to the public about potential lead contamination of fish near the company's McArthur river mine, despite the NT government and mining giant being aware of recommendations for warnings since July 2014.
