NZ's most important Committee?

Is this the most important Committee in New Zealand? Hard to say, but it's certainly one of them. It provides advice to the Ministry of Health on the amount of radiation to which the NZ public can be exposed by the telecommunications industry. That includes children, babies and the unborn. Hopefully the Committee has plenty of independent scientists with high-level qualifications in biological fields, rather than being stacked with individuals representing industry and government interests. Let's see, shall we?
