the Chinese producers should be prosecuted, according to opinion of AMWU national secretary


Sydney -  AMWU national secretary Paul Bastian affirms that they can not accept that the vehicle was accepted into Australia and they said that the Chinese producers should be prosecuted.

"What will the Government do to ensure this does not happen again? At the very least, there should be a prosecution because they were found to import products or components that contain asbestos which violates our rules," he said.

Tens of thousands of China's car pulled in Australia. Not because of disability, but because many of China's auto components that are there that contain asbestos are banned there.

Australia manufacturing labor union or Australian Manufacturing Workers Union urged investigation into the thousands of cars imported into the land of the kangaroo.

Previously, Ateco Automotive have interesting (recall) nearly 25,000 Chinese cars Great Wall and Chery brand after the discovery of asbestos content in the exhaust gasket and the engine of the vehicle.

"We will write to all owners shortly to explain the special circumstances in their vehicles," said Daniel Cotterill of Ateco Automotive says that while consumers are advised not to try to fix their own cars.

"We asked the manufacturers of these vehicles, before we started to import or distribute them, if they meet the standards of Australia and in particular whether they contain asbestos in one of their components, and we were given a written assurance that they are not (containing asbestos)," he said.

"We were very surprised and disappointed by this situation. It's a difficult situation," he added as detikOto quotes from ABC.

Nearly 30 different gaskets have been found to contain asbestos, and nearly 25,000 cars Great Wall and Chery is currently waiting to be drawn.
