ABC Ombudsman report on “After the Harvest”

ABC News welcomes the ABC Ombudsman’s findings regarding "After the Harvest", a series of reports regarding concerns held by some residents of a farming community in Victoria about a potential link between the farm chemical paraquat and Parkinson’s disease. 

The ABC Ombudsman has not upheld any of the complaints and the reporting team's journalism has been vindicated. The ABC team did a tremendous, thorough and detailed job and will continue to investigate these important public interest issues.
