Murrumbateman snubs ASIO - or does it?

as posted here

In a victory for common sense, Yass Valley Council has rejected a proposal to dump 35,000 tonnes of asbestos waste at the Murrumbateman landfill. Well - I think it has.
Yass Valley Council director of operations Simon Cassidy says the contractor did not want to wait months for an environmental impact study to be completed.
Presumably the Council were the ones doing the environmental impact study, in which case it sounds like the contractor has snubbed the Council, rather than the latter giving the bird to ASIO, which the story implies.

Either way, no doubt the squattocracy of the Canberra commuter belt will be raising a cool-climate Riesling to the outcome.
