The recent methane gas scare in the Brooklands Green estate has forced the potential evacuation of more than 700 residents.

How in hell did this get through council?

If I owned a home in the estate and it was worth $400,000 - and I am forced out, who pays my mortgage?

Houses are now unsellable?

Who should be sued? Casey council, Victoria Govt? EPA? The developer?

This sounds crazy that all the government is prepared to do is provide $8,000 relocation assistance. No doubt they are waiting for the massive class action.

I have no idea who is responsible, but this is a nightmare situation. I think maybe the government should pay, it almost seems unAustralian to leave the poor people in the dry.
