Dangerous power poles whistleblower still shaking loose poles

Dangerous power poles whistleblower still shaking loose poles

A fortnight on, whistleblower Richard Healey is still shaking loose poles and rattling the company in charge of replacing them.

Mr Healey claims he took Delta CEO Grady Cameron to show him the state of one particular wobbly pole three years ago.

But on last night's show, Mr Cameron says he only remembered one visit and it wasn't the same one.

Another precarious pole pointed out to the CEO has been red-tagged - deemed unsafe to climb - but is still in use.

The company has revealed $30 million will be allocated to have the overdue 3000 poles replaced by the end of 2017.

"We are going to be doing it by supplementing our resources with additional resources from outside the region," said Mr Cameron.

The company will need four-times the amount of workers to make this happen in time.

Since quitting his job, Mr Healey has been inundated with emails and he says the support has been overwhelming.
