IBN News reports that Greens MLA Deb Foskey isn’t happy today with the news that a Telstra phone tower is still going to be built near two schools in Campbell.
She says the ACT government is failing in its duty of care to protect the children (from electromagnetic radiation, which she says is potentially harmful).
According to IBN Telstra says it tried really hard to move the site somewhere else, but it wasn’t possible because no other locale would give Canberrans the kind of coverage they need and want.
[ED – considering that all the kiddies have a mobile in their pockets the tower would seem to be the least of their worries]
