State Member for Port Stephens Kate Washington is hoping for cross bench support for an upper house inquiry into the Williamtown contamination crisis.
The motion was introduced to parliament yesterday by Shadow Minister for the Environment Penny Sharpe which has seen support from The Greens but has not seen any support from the government.
Kate Washington says she is now discussing possible terms of reference with cross-benchers.
"Hopefully if we can get their support we can have the motion voted on and passed, so that we can get it the inquiry underway as soon as possible."
It has been 11 months since the Williamtown contamination became public.
