Australian author, Donna Fisher, has publicly stated that baby monitors emit dangerous radiation. She adds that they could be doing more harm than good.
Apart from the health risks for people sensitive to electromagnetic radiation, Donna fears that wireless baby monitors increase the risk of SIDS. Having a baby monitor in a child’s bedroom is like having a phone antenna station in the bedroom as it is the same radiation.

One of the recommendations of the recent G20 summit is that:
“Participating countries will work together to accelerate the development of new ways to improve the energy efficiency of networked devices. In 2015, this work will include consideration of options for goals for reducing the global standby mode energy consumption of networked devices”
So these “networked devices”, such as smart meters, are consuming too much electricity? Even when they’re in stand-by mode, which according to the power companies, is something like 23 hours and 56 minutes a day. And meanwhile we’re being told to switch off our appliances at the wall in order to stop wasting precious electricity on stand-by mode.
And apparently these smart meters are enabling us, the consumers, “to reduce our electricity consumption”, while at the same time, enabling the power companies to increase people’s electricity consumption to run this networked device in stand-by mode most of the day. And who is paying to run the smart meter in stand-by mode?
Obviously I’m not as smart as a smart meter because this isn’t making sense to me…..

The Australian Radiation Protection And Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA) sets the standards of safe levels of radiation emissions from devices such as smart meters, Wi-Fi, mobile phones, mobile phone towers, cordless phones and baby monitors. They have developed a survey to gauge the communities perception of ARPANSA performance and the services they provide. The survey should take approximately 10 minutes to complete, unless you’re keen to give them detailed responses.
Responses will allow ARPANSA to assess your view of:
* ARPANSA in general
* their leadership in radiation protection and nuclear safety
* how they communicate
* their integrity and leadership on radiation protection issues.
ARPANSA states, “By completing this survey, you will help ARPANSA identify your needs and deliver better services”.

People Power Victoria – No Smart Meters (PPV) is a grassroots political party concerned about the state of Victoria and its future direction. Our candidates are passionate people who care about human rights ahead of corporations; they care about their community and are determined to be the people’s’ voice in Parliament.
PPV is a political party that grew from the Victorian wide campaign opposing the State Government’s forced installation of smart meters.
PPV is running candidates in every Legislative Council Region (Upper House) in Victoria and 4 Legislative Assembly (Lower House) Districts. We have more candidates than Palmer United!

SSMA’s vice president, Steven Weller, attended the recent International Commission on Non-Ionising Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) and Science and Wireless conferences in Wollongong as SSMA’s representative. He has provided for us a summary of discussions at these two workshops. It includes some of Steve’s own research and personal opinions.

After relentless pressure from the people and a cascade of related problems, the City of Port Angeles has terminated their “smart” meter program.
If you have seen “Take Back Your Power”, you know me as the one who created the darkfield images of blood samples from three different people before and after a two-minute exposure to the smart meter installed at my office.
Recall the damaging effect of the smart meter exposure on the blood cell membranes. It was a very visual example of the dangerous emissions that I was exposed to continuously for several years.
I am now pleased to say that my smart meter has been removed now that the installation program has been scrapped, thanks to the efforts of many of our local awake and informed group.
How the local “smart” meter program was ended
After more than 120 attended the first “Take Back Your Power” showing at our local library, there was an outcry against smart meters at the next Port Angeles City Council meeting.
What was the key? Persistence. It took a little over a year for us to get this goal accomplished.
Beyond the power of the film itself, we also had help from the fact that the smart meters never really worked properly in the first place. In spite of all this, the Smart Meter Project Manager, Phil Lusk, was committed to pushing forward anyway. In the end, the Port Angeles City Council took charge and voted to eliminate the project.
Free removal of “smart” electric and water meters
One of the great aspects of the final outcome is the fact that everyone now gets to decide individually on the type of utility meter they prefer. The city as agreed to work with those who wish to keep or restore their analog meters. Additionally, this agreement also includes the water meters.
I want to thank Producer/Director Josh Del Sol for his commitment to the creation this amazing award-winning film. I am pleased and proud to have played a small role in the film, showing the degradation of the blood from just a short exposure to smart meter emissions. It was a great blessing to have worked with you, Josh!

CONTROVERSIAL electricity smart meters — which resulted in a politicial disaster in Victoria when they were forced upon households in a mandatory rollout in 2009 — will be introduced in NSW under a government plan tied to deregulation of the electricity retail market.
But unlike their Victorian counterparts, NSW consumers will be given the choice to voluntary take up the meters. See ‘Smart’ energy meter move that bombed, lands in NSW – Daily Telegraph
Chris Smith of 2GB speaks with NSW Energy Minister Anthony Roberts about a NSW plan to phase in smart meters.
For all Anthony Roberts’ talk about how NSW has learned from the disastrous Victorian rollout, he doesn’t seem to be saying anything much different from what authorities in Victoria have been saying. He still sees the problem as being a lack of engagement of the power company with the customer. That’s the same as what Victorian power companies have been using as their excuse for the disastrous rollout in victoria.
Anthony Roberts suggests that there could be sweetener deals to entice NSW customers to drop their guard. One such deal could see a smart phone being bundled with a smart meter (double the dose of radiation – now that’s ‘smart’!!!). But not so clearly expressed is the possibility that power bills for refusers could be higher. Nor is Anthony Roberts keen to state who will be paying for the smart meter.
