Buck-passing leads to tragedy

The dredging of the Brisbane Water channel sounds like a classic case of governmental buck-passing.

This is an all too familiar story of "it's not our responsibility" which led to the tragic and avoidable deaths of the family on the old Pacific Highway at Somersby in June 2007.

How many people need to drown and services be cut on account of the buck-passing between state and local governments, not to mention the cost involved in the ongoing inquires and coroners reports.

Gosford Council was proved negligent in the Somersby deaths.
