Teys Australia 
Thank you for the flyer which we received in our letterbox today. However, before I would consider signing a petition which could lead to the loss of livelihood for many people, I would want to see actual links to follow, which specifically address your concerns in relation to Teys, with the results of scientific / biological / toxicological studies carried out at Teys.
I received the flyer also and live within approx 1 km of the Abattoir. I moved here just under 5 years ago and find it hard to believe the government or council would not warn me about the dangers before moving my family to the area. Was this information available 5 years ago?
I cant answer that, but Q Fever is nothing new. I am sure that DERM (EPA) have been fully aware because Teys Licence says the cannot effect anything pass their boundary. But today Teys are too big to push and they get away with whatever they want. That is evident on the site.
The facts are
1. Q fever is a air borne bacterial infection. It causes flu-like symptoms such as a high temperature, muscle pain and headaches and is very dangerous; miss diagnosis is extremely common as it is often mistaken as the common flu.
In Australia Humans usually become infected by inhaling Cattle yard dust carried through the air by the wind, which can be spread up to 18 kilometers from the source.
People most at risk of getting Q fever are those whose occupation and environment brings them into close contact with livestock: Close contact can mean anything up to 18 kilometres depending on the wind.
2. A letter from Queensland Health warn Q fever effects, can be felt up to 5 kilometres from Teys Bros Beenleigh.
3. Teys Bros Beenleigh operational licence from the Queensland Government office of DERM dictates, Teys Bros Beenleigh must not effect anyone or anything beyond its boundaries.
In my opinion, the above points prove Teys Bros Beenleigh are in BREACH of their operational licence and operate in a dangerous and illegal manner. Queensland Governments department of DERM acknowledge their breach, the Queensland Health Department and the Logan City Council are aware of their breach and yet none have taken action to protect the public.
