Last night, PBAC controversy was the subject of the Australian
Broadcasting Corporation's prestigious 45 minute TV current affairs
show - Four Corners.

PBAC controversy is now available at:

Following the program, an on-line forum was opened for people to
discuss the issues raised in the program.

Heartfelt thanks to all E-druggers and others who helped, especially
Jonathon Quick (the voice of WHO on the program) and Graham Dukes (online
forum panellist).
And sincere congratulations to Don Birkett, David Henry and other former
PBAC members who spoke out about Ministerial and Industry perfidiousness.
Well done indeed!
