Williamtown residents affected by PFAS contamination are furious after the Defence Department admitted there's been no money put aside to pay compensation.
Instead, $53 million has been allocated to a fighting fund for legal fees to defend six matters including 3 class action lawsuits.
The revelation has angered Coalition Against PFAS President, Lindsay Clout who says Defence is continuing to deny, deflect and distract while residents suffer.
Senate estimates has been told Defence has allocated $205 million for PFAS investigations at 27 sites which will produce management plans to inform and advise on remediation strategies.
