Statement of faith leaders following attack in Sydney

NSW Premier Chris Minns and Minister for Multiculturalism Steve Kamper have released a joint statement from a diverse group of NSW faith leaders, in an effort to calm tensions following the recent knife attack at Christ The Good Shepherd Church in south western Sydney.

Once again this battle has come to our kitchen tap. A bill is before our state government that if passed would give state government power to force all NSW councils to fluoridate the public water supplies. An emergency motion is being put up to your Byron Shire councillors on Thursday to revisit this issue.

No health agency in fluoridated countries is monitoring fluoride exposure or side effects. There has never been a single, randomised, controlled trial to demonstrate fluoridation’s effectiveness or safety and the US Food and Drug Administration continues to classify fluoride as an ‘unapproved new drug’.

For the sake of your health and your children’s health, I urge you to study the facts and call for an open and transparent debate (considering the precautionary principle) on the science behind this practice and the validity of forced medication of a population. Visit www.flourideaustralia.org.

    Those experts say they really auta’
    put their flouride in my water.

    ‘Cuz mum dont care about my carries
    she allways feeds me bread for faries:

  2. With respect, you are talking rubbish Rose. All dosing with mechanically controlled. The monitoring is on a 24 hour period to take account of ambient temperature fluctuations.

    Stop trying to scare monger and do some research, please. And don’t pretend to understand that on what you try to pontificate. Are trying to stand for local elections or something.?

  3. Veronica you don’t even live in this country, are you being payed to sit online and dis anyone who is against WF? We are a country dealing with Forced medication, our town is under threat of loosing our clean water, because of some mythic notion that swallowing a highly corrosive and active poisonous pathogen is somehow beneficial! We are not satisfied with the health and safety evaluations presented by our Ministers, they are flawed and dismiss anything that is in opposition to there agenda. We are not even satisfied that F is indeed effective. There is a lot of evidence to show it isn’t.
    there has been cases here where citizens have been overdosed. Brisbane May 14th 2009, people received 20x more the recommended dosage, people got sick, there pets where killed! opps…. no compensation offered.
    People are getting sicker we are in a dental crisis regardless of WF. and to rub insult into injury, government has set legislation to protect them selves from law suits from damages caused by F, yet they keep on the mantra train, F is safe F is good. not a good picture! hope you can appreciate.
