SUMMARY

This submission identifies four areas where there are gaps in necessary protection for long term public health.

Cell masts capable of RF transmission are being installed in residential streets—

Without long term effects having been proven safe for human and wildlife health; and

Without reported adverse effects having been avoided or remedied; and

Without the democratic agreement of residents living within reach and sight of the technology; and

Without adequate monitoring of transmission levels.

The regulatory authorities are failing to protect human and wildlife wellbeing in these four ways.

Issues of public concern regarding positioning of cell masts in residential areas:

The telecom companies are not required to remedy loss of good health, nor pay for shielding materials to avoid effects, nor compensate loss of pleasure in life.

There is no provision for the public to have rights of objection to the choice of site for a cell mast, nor rights to compensation and fair settlement.

Recourse to legal processes is beyond the means of most households. That is, the costs of shielding materials, re-designing bedrooms where children sleep, and “leaving all fair” should fall on the telecommunication companies and not on the householder.
