5G, Wireless Technologies and the health and safety of the population
Andy Hooley made this Official Information request to Jacinda Ardern
The request was refused by Jacinda Ardern.
From: Andy Hooley
Dear Jacinda Ardern,
Further to my last request: https://fyi.org.nz/request/10883-5g-wire...
As stated the Ministry of Health has not conducted risk assessments for exposure to 5G radio frequencies with the scenarios covered. I would therefore like to request, what scenarios the Ministry has conducted radio frequency exposure risk assessments for. If you could kindly state what frequencies are covered, at what power densities, the time/duration of exposure, who conducted them, what was the outcome and what if any is the the mitigation strategy and the date of these risk assessments.
Yours faithfully,
Andy Hooley
From: Rt. Hon Jacinda Ardern

Dear Jacinda Ardern,
Thank you for the reply to my recent OIA. However, once again you have not answered the simple question, what studies has NZ Government completed to guarantee safety of this technology. The website you refer me to has no evidence of any studies showing safety. So the statement on the website "Overall, the research evidence does not show that such low exposures can harm your health" has no reference to any material to support such a statement. The whole intent of my OIA is to understand what research the government have conducted and it is abundantly clear that NO EVIDENCE exists to support your claims. Once again you have failed to show any concern or evidence of safety.
Yours faithfully,
Andy Hooley
