Williamtown residents affected by PFAS contamination have again vented their anger during a candidate forum last night.
Candidates were quizzed on what they would do to address the crisis.
The candidates representing the Greens, One Nation and the United Australia Party committed to fight for compensation if elected.
However, sitting Labor MP, Meryl Swanson refused to commit to financial assistance but confirmed a number of other measures will be announced on Thursday.
Than candidates for Liberal Party and the Christian Democrats did not attend the forum.
Liberal hopeful, Sachin Joshi emailed the forum on Monday morning to advise he was unable to attend due to previous campaign commitments.
