The request was successful.
From: Michael Fleck
Dear Ministry of Health,
As thousands of new cell towers have been erected across NZ since the first lockdown (2020) to accommodate the roll-out of new 5G technology and ever-increasing use of wireless EMR in the public and private sectors, when were the EMR emissions from these towers last measured according to the international safety standards updated by the ICNIRP in 2020?. . .and specifically, the measuring of tower emissions on Waiheke Island?
Yours faithfully,
Michael Fleck

As an aside, ionising radiation may not be the issue that causes health concerns and the EMF mafia hides behind that to dismiss claims that EMF could be damaging. Instead one may want to look at the calcium channels in the cells as they don't work well with soupy frequency.
