Auckland Protest - NO 5G roll-out without adequate safety testing

Michael from Bayview

Dear fellow residents of Bayview and surrounding areas,

If you are against the roll-out of 5G without adequate research on health effects, please support the Auckland Protest tomorrow (Saturday January 25). We are meeting at 12 noon at the corner of Queen Street and Wakefield Streets in Auckland CBD, close to Aotea Square. There will be speeches, a singer/guitarist, artwork against 5G, banners and a march down Queen Street to the Viaduct.

This Auckland Protest is one of many Protests around New Zealand including Kaitaia, Whangarei, Mangawhai, Wellington, Gisborne, Christchurch, Nelson and Invercargill. Details of Protests around NZ can be found at this link: www.5g.org.nz...

The New Zealand National Day of Protest against 5G is part of the January 25 Global Day of Protest involving over 30 countries around the world.

Wondering what all the fuss is about? 5G is very different from existing 3G, 4G and wi-fi and involves higher frequency radiation. This higher frequency radiation will be beam-forming (laser-like) and will be absorbed by the skin and the eyes. The skin is not just an overcoat - it is an organ with many functions, including regulation of the immune system. Research on health effects of this type of radiation is almost non-existent. The Ministry of Health and Telcos are saying that research on existing systems (such as 3G. 4G and w-fi) can be applied to 5G. However, this is a totally unscientific assumption because the characteristics of the 5G radiation are very different from existing 3G, 4G and wi-fi.

Rolling out 5G technology that has not been adequately tested for safety is the height of irresponsibility - hence the Protests. Health must come before Profits.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
