WIN News Ch 9, Feb 21, 2009 – Xmas tree
A Current Affair, Ch 9, Sept 21, 2009 – High voltage power lines.
By John Mort. Shown across Australia. The topic was a report on the medical risks posed by high voltage lines. My opinion was on the basis of my high voltage knowledge and as a medical specialist to interpret the extensive literature. Early studies had suggested a leukaemia risk but later much larger studies that actually measured fields showed no risk. I would have no concerns living under a power line (and in fact have done so when living near Hyde Park in Perth).
The Eastern States version is on video from the ACA website here (broken) Video runs 4:13 mins
