PUBLIC SERVICE EXPERIENCE:

1. Former Position (Executive Level 2):

Manager, Risk Assessment and Policy Section, Chemicals and the Environment Branch, Environment Australia (April 1993 to April 2001, plus in an acting capacity from July 1990 to August 1992). The description below also includes my previous lower level positions in this area from October 1984.

The principal duties I undertook in these positions were:

12


Industrial chemicals assessment

Supervision and assessment of industrial chemicals firstly under the voluntary Interim Notification Scheme (INS), but for the final nearly 11 years under the mandatory National Industrial Chemicals Notification and Assessment Scheme (NICNAS). I became acting Director of the Section the day before the National Industrial Chemicals Notification and Assessment Scheme commenced in July 1990. Since that time I was responsible for ensuring that satisfactory environmental reports for over 1000 chemicals were completed within statutory deadlines. These reports involve assessing the potential risk of chemicals from an environmental viewpoint throughout their life cycle ie manufacture, transport, use, release into the environment, fate and pathways once released, effects on biota (ecotoxicity), disposal; and recommending relevant control measures. In addition I also supervised the environmental assessments of a smaller number of selected priority existing chemicals, some of which have been in the assessments conducted in the OECD’s HPV/SIDS program.

Agricultural and veterinary chemicals assessment

From mid-1986 I was involved with the similar assessment and supervision of agricultural chemicals and veterinary drugs. I was integrally involved in the setting up, planning and conducting of these assessments and since this time all new active constituents have been assessed for their environmental impact. Over 200 of these reports have been completed. I was also involved with the assessment of existing pesticides on a priority basis, and over 10 environmental reports are now publicly available for some very important chemicals such as endosulfan, atrazine, parathion methyl, aldicarb and chlorpyrifos.

Development of methodologies for environmental assessment of chemicals

I was closely involved with the development of methodologies used for the environmental assessment of these chemicals. Initially this included helping the planning, organising and running of the Workshop on the Environmental Assessment of Chemicals held in Canberra in May 1986, and also attending, as the Australian representative, the OECD Workshop on Practical Approaches for the Assessment of Environmental Exposure held in Vienna in April 1986. The principles obtained from these, as well as other available material, were very important in the subsequent development of the relatively low tech Australian approach. I was the Australian representative at the OECD Hazard/Risk Assessment workshop held in London in May 1994. I was also invited by the organisers to deliver a plenary lecture entitled “Environmental Fate, a Down Under Perspective” at the IUPAC 9th International Congress on Pesticide Chemistry held in London in August 1998. In respect of the more advanced probablistic risk assessment I was a main speaker at the May 1999 Canberra workshop entitled Ecological Risk Assessment of Pesticides in the Aquatic Environment. I was also the chief organiser of the successful Probabilistic Environmental Risk Assessment workshop held in Canberra on 11 February 2001 in conjunction with the Australasian Society for Ecotoxicity’s Conference “Envirotox 2001”.

Development of agvet and industrial chemicals legislation/policy advice

From the start I was involved in the formulation/advice upon policy on the assessment of chemicals, particularly in relation to the proposed mandatory notification and assessment scheme for industrial chemicals. This included a revised proposal of the data requirements and treatment of polymers. I was also closely involved with the drafting of the Industrial Chemicals (Notification and Assessment) Bill 1989, as well as co-ordinating the lodging of the Cabinet Submission for this Scheme. Since that time I was the main representative of the environment department in meetings looking at policy aspects relating to industrial chemicals regulation, and was intricately involved with two reviews of operations of the scheme as well as proposed amendments to the Act resulting from these.

In addition to supervision of our agvet chemicals assessments I was the chief environmental representative in negotiations concerning National Registration of these chemicals during the early 1990s, ensuring that our views were heard and incorporated. This included commenting on the draft National Registration legislation, as well as being involved in reviews of this program since it became law. I was also heavily involved in the Government's response to the Senate Select Committee's report on the use of Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals in Australia. One of the main recommendations relevant to us was the need for an environmental monitoring and wildlife incident reporting scheme for which I subsequently commissioned and supervised a consultant’s report aimed at providing options as to how this might be achieved.

I also represented the environment department on many States/Commonwealth committee meetings related to the National Registration Scheme. One of these was representing all Australian environment agencies on behalf of ANZECC on the Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals Policy Committee (AVCPC). I was also closely involved with one of AVCPC’s major achievements, the National Strategy for Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals, being both a member of the drafting working group and the working group trying to implement this strategy.

International chemicals work

During my period as acting Director I worked very hard at raising Australia's international chemicals profile, particularly in the OECD Chemicals Programme. I attended the OECD Joint Chemicals meeting in November 1990 as the first Australian based representative for some time, which was soon followed by heading a larger delegation, in particular when we became a co-sponsor of the Clearing House for Lead Risk Reduction. Australia is now actively involved in nearly all aspects of the chemicals programme.

As the departmental interests in chemicals expanded my responsibilities became largely to run the domestic assessment program, though I maintained a strong interest in OECD activities. This includes having been the National Test Guidelines co-ordinator from 1990 to 1999, and attending the OECD workshops on Monitoring of Industrial Chemicals in the Environment held in Berlin in May 1998 and Aquatic Risk Indicators held in Braunschweig in June 1999. I was also very keen to further the exchange of environmental pesticide assessment reports (with the ultimate aim of worksharing), and informally contacted authorities in both Canada and the UK aimed at making more progress in this area. We have also endeavoured to draft our reports in the accepted OECD format.

In addition I was Australian environment delegate on the POPs Criteria Expert Group (CEG) and had a major input into the Australian position for the two meetings that were held during 1998-9, and subsequently maintained an input into the Australian briefings for the POPS INC meetings. I have also had an involvement (through the Australian briefing process) in the IMO’s proposal to draw up an international instrument aimed at banning the use of anti-foulant paints, principally tributyltin, as well as the assessment of alternatives.

Other responsibilities/interests

Over this time, as well as supervising up to 17 staff, I also had a great interest in other environmental chemicals issues such as dioxins and other persistent organochlorines, and assessment of the proposal to destroy US stocks of chemical weapons in a purpose built incinerator on Johnston Atoll in the Pacific. Other duties I performed include preparation of routine or ministerial correspondence, briefings for senior management, particularly in relation to OECD chemicals activities, preparation and collation of co-ordination comments on Cabinet Submissions and analysis of consultants' bids for projects. I have also been involved in the UNCED and ESD processes, as well as with the initial development of the National Pollutants Inventory in Australia.

2. Current Position

Principal Peer Reviewer, Risk Assessment and Policy Section (1 May 2001 to present).

My main task in this position has been to act as “peer reviewer” for the major assessments conducted for the National Industrial Chemicals Notification and Assessment Scheme (NICNAS) and the National Registration Authority (NRA), ensuring these are in a very advanced stage prior to consideration and sign off by the Section Director. This has relied on my extensive experience gained previously while managing the Section. I have also undertaken assessment work, including some permit applications and finalising both reports for registration of chemicals and those assessed under Chemical Review due to the absence of staff on leave etc. Major assessments I have assessed/peer reviewed include decabromo diphenylether (Deca-BDE), HBCD, perfluorobutane sulfonate (PFBS) and perfluorohexanoic acid (PFHxA, replacements for PFOS and PFOA chemistry, respectively), as well as diuron, and fipronil. I have also been closely involved with the international assessment of new pesticides under the Global Joint Review (GJR) process since this started in the mid 2000s, not only peer reviewing but also undertaking some of the actual reviews of the study summaries myself.

Due to my corporate knowledge and interests I have also continued to make contributions to other areas of both chemicals assessment and policy, as needed. For example, in this time I have provided detailed comment on briefings for the POPs Review Committee (POPRC) risk profiles for Annex E, in particular for lindane, endosulfan (including the review and negotiations to cancel all Australian registrations) and HBCD, as well as commenting on a number of documents involved with the Risk Management Evaluation under Annex F. I also drafted the environmental persistence, bioaccumulation and toxicity (PBT) criteria for Australia, which are now routinely employed in our risk assessments to ensure that new chemicals with POPs-like characteristics are not introduced into the Australian market place.

In addition I peer reviewed the draft Environment Protection and Heritage Council’s/NChEM’s Risk Assessment Guidance Manuals for both agricultural and veterinary chemicals and for industrial chemicals to ensure these accurately reflected our current or future environmental risk assessment practices in this area. I also played a very similar role in the updating of the Environmental Requirements Part of the AgMORAG, which sets out the environmental requirements for applicants submitting proposals for registrations of pesticides. I was also the Australian delegate on the VICH Working Group on Ecotoxicity/Environmental Impact Assessment, which developed guidelines aimed at

14


harmonising the environmental data requirements for veterinary drugs, attending 5 meetings from November 2000 to September 2004. When things came to an impasse at the beginning of 2002, I offered and was accepted to act as editor of the document. In this way I was able to co-ordinate and summarise all the views and had a major impact on the successful delivery of a final document, which was accepted by all participating regions in October 2004.

3. Earlier Position:

(February 1978-September 1984) Chemistry and Quality Control Evaluator (Science 3) Pharmaceutical Chemistry Section, National Biological Standards Laboratory, Department of Health ACT

As an evaluator at NBSL I assessed the chemical and quality control aspects of submissions supplied by manufacturers in support of applications to import pharmaceutical products, in order to conduct clinical trials or to market new drugs or formulations. This gave me a broad background in both pharmaceuticals and the pharmaceutical industry. The position involved examination of the submissions followed by written reports but no actual laboratory work. I also served as chemistry and pharmacy adviser to the anti-cancer sub-committee of the Australian Drug Evaluation Committee (ADEC).

PREVIOUS CAREER HISTORY:

1. Temporary Lecturer in Chemistry - University of Manchester (September 1971-September 1973) - involved in lecturing, tutoring and supervision of laboratory classes.

2. Research Fellow in Chemistry - Australian National University (October 1973-January 1978).
