Williamtown residents have traveled to Canberra today seeking government action on environmental contamination caused by the area's RAAF Base.
Warnings about eating local produce and the potential drop in property prices are some matters they want answers about, with politicians motioning for a Senate Inquiry.
Greens Senator, Lee Rhiannon says residents are speaking up about what needs to be done.
"This is just unacceptable in any country, but in Australia and in 2015 the Department of Defense have questions to answer as they haven't been forthcoming and now we need this inquiry."
18 Williamtown residents will meet with the Assistant Minister for Defense Darren Chester, along with other members of the Labor party, such as treasurer Chris Bowen. The residents, including Lee Rhiannon, are hoping to get answers from the government along with a move for a Senate inquiry into how the contamination originally occurred.
