Avoiding
Smart Meter’s in Victoria
(A
Manual of facts to help you)
The
aim of this web page is to provide you with some little known facts
to assist you in your fight to protect your health, privacy and
democratic right to say ‘NO’. It has been compiled from personal
experience and many hours of research.
Health
issues.
Are
Victorians being subjected to an experiment without their knowledge
and consent? Neither the Victorian government nor the distributors
have produced any evidence that these devices are safe, all they have
done is ensure they comply with out of date standards!
For
some time a number of individuals have reported a variety of health
problems that they relate to exposure to electromagnetic fields
(EMF). Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity
(EHS) has been known to
specialists for more than 50 years. EHS is recognised
by World Health Organisation:
It
is recognised by law in Australia, by decision of
Administrative Appeals Tribunal of Australia, McDonald
and Comcare [2013] AATA 105 (28 February 2013):
COMPENSATION
– Safety, Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 1988 (Nth)
- Electromagnetic hypersensitivity syndrome.

International
Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified radiofrequency
electromagnetic fields as class 2b carcinogens, possibly carcinogenic
to humans:
Despite
all it EHS was NOT taken into account by Victorian
politicians or the distribution industry, who are responsible for the
Advanced metering Infrastructure project.
Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity has been known about for at least half a century and the distributor’s choice of wireless technology clearly shows they have no idea what they are doing, or, they just not care.
Alternatives.
Must
they be wireless? In agreement with Order in Council 10 December 2013
they must be “remotely read". (But the distributors
are still only required ‘to use best endeavours’!) ‘Remote
reading’ can be done not only by wireless, but by using power
cables for internet connection, for information on this subject see:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadband_over_power_lines.
The Victorian government gave distributors a choice of meter design. So why did the distributors choose potentially dangerous wireless technology? I have no idea, but you can guarantee cost was a major deciding factor. Why has the Victorian government not tried to carry out any meaningful research? That is also a mystery to me, but you can also guarantee cost is a major issue with that too. On this point, you may well ask, ‘why would they, the responsibility for the rollout is industry led, so it is their responsibility’! The government is very good at ‘duck shoving’ blame, if you let them!
