It’s a good step to ban this should the the silicosis be a legitimate concern. The rest of the world should follow Australia’s lead here. Don’t want a repeat of the asbestos situation globally. I still remember attending sone primary and high school classes in pre-fabricated asbestos classrooms in South Africa during the 2000s and 2010s.

Australian here. We only had to ban it because all of our tradespeople are deadshits.

The same people that wouldn’t wear a mask to protect them from covid won’t wear one to protect themselves from inhaling silica dust. Really, I’m shocked.
