    SHIPYARDS OF DEATH The Advertiser, Australia
    As an apprentice Geoff Pope used to have 'snowball' fights with his mates using handfuls of asbestos as they worked in the BHP shipyards at Whyalla.

    Now he has inoperable lung cancer and relies on morphine to quell the pain in his chest. Some of his mates have already died.

    They are among the hundreds of shipbuilders who are dead or seriously ill after years of exposure to asbestos in the former shipyards.
