5G just became an election issue

Posted on January 30, 2020January 30, 2020

Fantastic news follows last Saturday’s “5G Global Day of Protest” in over 250 cities around the world. Communities throughout New Zealand and in at least 25 other countries united in a mass show of “people power”, using education, protests and other activities to highlight the demand for more consultation, community involvement and precaution in adoption…

The Outdoors Party www.outdoorsparty.co.nz has formally requested a review of regulations (full document here) that allow new celltowers to be installed around New Zealand without any consultation with affected communities.

1080 Poison- is it “deadly” or “safe”… surely something so important shouldn’t depend on who you ask?

Posted on October 31, 2019October 31, 2019

1080 (sodium fluoroacetate) is approved and labelled as a “deadly poison”. In 2007 its re-approval by ERMA was limited to targeting possums. Rats, mast years and mega masts were not identified as a problem until recently. ERMA approved 1080 use but only where there was social licence, after consultation with affected communities, and only in…

What do guns, poisons, medicinal cannabis and 5G all have in common

Posted on October 6, 2019October 7, 2019

I’ve only recently become interested in the gun law reforms. I used to think that guns were dangerous and the less the better. However after witnessing the positive energy at the Sika show, acting for diverse interests promoting public good law reform and undertaking some research on gun related issues, I’ve realised that the government’s…

5G- Ask us First!

Posted on August 11, 2019August 11, 2019

We are constantly faced with change and new technology. Some is good for humanity. Some is driven by multinational interests and is more about them than us. Often we don’t understand the risks until it is too late. Think X-rays which were embraced as the greatest medical progress for checking foetal development for years, even…

Posted on August 11, 2019August 11, 2019

I’ve just read an extraordinary “Health Risk Assessment” by a redacted Taranaki Public Health Officer for DoC’s aerial application of 1080 to public roads and huts on Mount Taranaki and Kaitake Range. Its extraordinary firstly because the Health Officer is brutally honest about the toxicity and uncertainties of 1080 poison, admitting: Acute toxicity– 1080 has…

URGENT REQUEST TO MINISTER OF POLICE FOR FAIRNESS AND COMPASSION WITH MEDICINAL USE OF DRUGS

Posted on August 11, 2019August 11, 2019

Parliament passed another step in drug law reform this week, explicitly requiring the police to exercise discretion before prosecuting for possession and use of drugs. This implements the “public interest” test in the Solicitor-General’s guidelines into the law. I’ve written an urgent request to the Minister of Police (copy below) asking for more information on…
