Residents in the south-west Western Australian town of Yarloop are calling on the State Government to intervene in a long-running dispute between the community and aluminium producer Alcoa.
A group of residents is taking legal action against Alcoa, alleging emissions from the company's refinery are making them sick.
They are seeking compensation to allow them to relocate the town and want Environment Minister Bill Marmion to force the company to pay out.
