Interagency Committee on the Health Effects of Non-ionising Fields
D J Blair made this Official Information request to Ministry of Health
This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for D J Blair to read recent responses and update the status.
From: D J Blair
Dear Ministry of Health,
I respectfully ask for the names of the men and women that currently make up the Interagency Committee on the Health Effects of Non-ionising Fields.
I cannot find this information anywhere, and as these people are advising the Ministry on very important issues I find it unusual that the identities of these individuals is not published, not even a name of the author on the 2018 report I reviewed.
I have listed a couple of questions that I believe we, The New Zealand public have a right to know, regarding persons that are influencing the decisions made by The Ministry of Health that affect the whole nation.
1) What are the names of the men and women that currently make up the Interagency Committee on the Health Effects of Non-ionising Fields?
2) How many members are
a) Qualified experts in the field of medicine?
and how many are
b) Non-medical, electrical and telecommunications technicians and industry representitives?
It is essential that we know there are actually individuals on this committee that stand by their reports,( I assume they were paid) and therefore the same individuals accept liability for said advice.
We have legal documentation to forward to the 2018 committee members and so we hope you can make this information known in good faith to allow us due process.
Yours faithfully,
Dennis Blair
Ministry of Health
Kia ora

From: D J Blair
Dear Ministry of Health,
I thank you for your prompt response to my request for official information but I do require clarification from you regarding the refusal of part of my request which you cited:
under section 9(2)(a) of the Act to protect the privacy of natural persons.
This is the cited subsection: protect the privacy of natural persons, including that of deceased natural persons
My request for clarification comes due to what I understand the definition of the word "includes, including" to be in legislative writing. From Blacks Law 3rd edition where they credit the original to Edward Coke, and there have been many subsequent corresponding definitions.
"The inclusion of one is the exclusion of another. The certain designation of one
person is an absolute exclusion of all others." 11 Coke 58b.
Can you please correct me if I'm wrong but it sounds like your reason for refusing my request is to protect the privacy of the deceased.
What have any persons, now passed away, got to do with my request for information on current interagency committee members?
Is it to protect the corpse? The body corporate? The Corporation?
There is alot of protection written into the act favouring Government actors, agencies, departments and employees.
Protection, it seems is important, and the state has well covered itself.
Protection from harm is what the people of New Zealand expect from their Government, and especially from The Ministry of Health and those who advise the department on decisions that could potentially impact negatively on the public.
The evidence is clear that harm will be caused and sadly, unlike the historic tobacco industry lobby, the dangers are unavoidable & compulsory to all New Zealanders, with no remedy available to those at high risk, no opt-out of a situation created by Government and it's advisors when medical expertese and peer reviewed evidence shows that many New Zealanders will suffer from the decisions made by this government, on the advice given by this industry funded committee regarding the safe and responsible introduction of the virtually untested 5G technology.
What has any of this got to do with OIA? It is just some context for you, I write some back story with hope that I will be considered in the way you would a neighbour, a friend, a brother, a sister, a human being. I'm not the enemy, I'm trying to do what is right, I'm trying to help you actually.
A safe secure environment should be the right of all New Zealanders yet we have been denied the international precautionary principle and are about to become guinea pigs in a dangerous experiment. Meanwhile those who have knowingly or unknowingly acted with criminal negligence are protected from liability under the deceitful official information act.
Let it be known that I believe you will be denying me due process and possible remedy by rejecting this request for information.
Along with my above mentioned clarifications, and I know this request falls outside the OIA guides but it is well within the boundries of good faith and showing Government committment, it would really go a long way in helping to restore some faith and respect that has been lost over this term.
I request that even just one of the executive leadership team from The Ministry of Health, to stand by their decision and sign an affidavit that the untested 5G technology, to be introduced on top of the existing 3G & 4G systems, is known by them to be safe for Kiwi's and all biology with which we share the land and waterways of Aotearoa.
This is not an unreasonable request, testing the technology for safety is not unreasonable either, the agency concerns are self evident, the health concerns I have are not just my opinion it is science, not open for debate yet facts are being brushed over. I can pause this process with the requested information, if the technology is safe there should not be any concerns.
Thanks, I appreciate your time.
Yours faithfully,
D J Blair
Ministry of Health
