GOVERNMENT TIGHT LIPPED ON BAD SMELL

The state government says it knows which industry near Maitland in the Hunter valley is causing foul smells.

But despite years of complaints from residents, it won’t reveal the culprit.

Now the government department responsible says it knows who the culprit is but won’t name them.
