Scientists warn of potential serious health effects of 5G September 13, 2017 We the undersigned, more than 180 scientists and doctors from 35 countries, recommend a moratorium on the roll-out of the fifth generation, 5G, for telecommunication until potential hazards for human health and the environment have been fully investigated by scientists independent from industry….
Minister of Technology asleep behind his computer…
The Minister of Technology and his team somehow missed my OIA request for information he has received and considered about the health risks associated with 5G. This supports my concern that the issue is not with the technology but the way we use the technology. Before we role out 5G- with 6G already in the…
Public heroes – ask us first
RFEMR is classified by the WHO as a class 2B carcinogen. However it is deemed to be “safe” if emissions comply with a NZ standard that was created by the Telcos. Since 2008 various Ministers for the Environment have been serially excluding the public from having a say on if, where and how celltowers and…
5G- Ask us First!
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…
Public health officer admits one 1080 bait is close to a fatal dose for a 3 year old child
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
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…
Poisoned tuatara, cockroaches and what else?
The first tuatara was poisoned with brodifacoum at Natureland zoo in August 2017 around the time when the Brook community was in court trying to stop the poisoning of the Brook Sanctuary. I’ve recently obtained OIA information from DoC which shows they knew about the wide array of wildlife and insects which are susceptible to…
Another 49 dead cows ….
We are still waiting for the EPA’s “independent” inquiry into the eight cows and three stillborn calves that were poisoned with 1080 by DoC at Mapara last year. Their draft report was due a month ago but it was recently postponed indefinitely by the EPA. Meanwhile there continue to be more suspicious deaths of cows….
