The Queensland Agenda
Campbell Newman participated in The Queensland Agenda OurSay in January, where you asked the questions in the lead up to the Queensland election. His responses to the three most popular submissions can be found on our blog at blog.oursay.org.
The Question
Will you promise to immediately halt Fluoridation if you form government in Queensland? Anna Bligh was demonstrably wrong when she stated "There is no evidence that any disease or illness or condition is more prevalent in Townsville, or Sydney or Melbourne than it is in any city without fluoride." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1SB1_0_L3Q Townsville Health Service District residents, Fluoridated for over 40 years, are admitted at a higher rate than people from other parts of Queensland for potentially avoidable conditions including asthma, congestive heart failure, convulsions and epilepsy, congestive obstructive pulmonary disease, dental conditions (***), ear, nose and throat conditions, and pyelonephritis. http://www.health.qld.gov.au/townsville/Documents/executive/e_csp_bgp3_demogr.pdf A number of these diseases are associated with and/or exacerbated by Fluoride, see www.fluoridealert.org In a community forum in 2005, you, as the then Brisbane Lord Mayor Mr Campbell Newman, said you would not support water fluoridation because a third of residents rejected mass medication. You also said "It's up to medical and dental professional associations to make the case. In 1997 they had the opportunity to make their case and the results show they were not able to do that." You have also stated you want to save taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars wasted on Labor schemes such as Fluoridation.

Proponents of fluoridation have censored most media, ignored intelligent discussion of fluoridation and slandered most opponents of fluoridation and attacked those who put up credible data against ‘water fluoridation’ which has no evidence of safety in existence. There is something seriously wrong with people who fight to keep fluorosilicic acid/silicofluorides & co-contaminants of lead, mercury, arsenic,cadmium in water supplies.
Stop being such victim. You haven’t been censored. In fact, you’ve had pages of free space to build your argument. Instead, you've cut and pasted random articles you've googled one after another, as if the sheer weight of hyperlinked journals will convince the lay reader of your superior argument. You have no authority on the matter. So please desist. You won't tho, because you've already put the crazy cassette into your brain, and it is jammmed honey. You need to go to bikram yoga, get that nasty out.
To Sir Daniel Johnson, So what you are saying is that a persons lifestyle and whatever situation they are in somehow precludes them to not ascertain a truth? You told this Diane to "Get help. Get treated. Get some topical fluoride ffs. And tell your son to move out, cut his hair and get a job." In your recommendation to get some topical fluoride, which I see nothing wrong with if you keep it topical, why would you promote the method of delivery of water fluoridation which is very briefly topical but predominantly systemic? In the latter I have serious concerns about introducing a chemical into a public delivery system whose regulation and scope of action cannot be controlled once it enters human blood plasma. I do not wish to get drawn into the politics of this debate, for politics resort to emotion when logic is not available but the point of demarcation of thought is made - is fluoride predominately safe and effective for the small hydroapatite to fluoroapatite conversion that inevitably occurs when the fluoride ion is in proximity to dentin or should it also be allowed to continue to pass that oral scope and once consumed be allowed to affect other areas of the body? I recall looking at the material safety data sheet for the compounds used and it says that 6mg can be lethal. Do those that oppose free F- being introduced to the body at a rate of 0.7 mg/L (as opposed to locked F in natural calcium fluoride CaF2 - the fluorides that government saids are the same but wont distinguish between the two) and taking into account the ability of the human renal system, that if healthy can only excrete 50% of the ingested volume of F-; do those persons have any right to distinguish between 1. the scope of delivery and 2. the nature of the ion (in its locked or unlocked state) upon its delivery?

General self preservation tip - don’t post incriminating links to your website of crazy (http://www.dianabuckland.webs.com/) if you wish to avoid being sectioned.
@ alex. yes.
Don't believe the pro-fluoridation propagandists. Read this book, which utterly demolishes all of their garbage---> 'The Case Against Fluoride' by Dr. Paul Connett, Dr. James Beck & Dr. Spedding Micklem. Available from Chelsea Green Publishing. ISBN: 9781603582872
Get the real facts on fluoride---> www.fluoridealert.org
ATTENTION MODERATORS: I DO NOT KNOW THE PERSON DANIEL JOHNSON WHO HAS MADE MOST INAPPROPRIATE PERSONAL ATTACKS ON ME OBVIOUSLY AFTER VIEWING SOME OF THE PICTURES OF MY PETS ON MY WEBSITE. I HEREBY REQUEST THAT ALL OF HIS INAPPROPRIATE COMMENTS BE REMOVED AND THAT IF HE CONTINUES TO ATTACK ME PERSONALLY, WHICH COULD AMOUNT TO 'STALKING' THAT HE BE BANNED. THANK YOU.
no, you're a lunatic, and I think it's fair for people to realise that you're not just a concerned citizen raising some issues, you're an out there radical with some really really strange ideas about the world. You’ve put this information into the public domain, so you can't have it both ways. I've got a beef with you because you've stacked this voting process to make your radical fringe views seem like a common mainstream view. Anna Bligh has already answered this ridiculous question last time, stop this crusade, you are taking away from other worthy causes. I am not stalking you, you've posted all the necessary information on this very website. You’ve got your own website. You’ve got several facebook propaganda pages. Dig deeper and your address and email are all there too. You're a fool, and you deserve to be ridiculed.
ATTENTION MODERATORS: I DO NOT KNOW THE PERSON DANIEL JOHNSON WHO HAS MADE MOST INAPPROPRIATE PERSONAL ATTACKS ON ME - HE MUST HAVE VIEWED SOME OF THE PICTURES OF MY PETS ON MY WEBSITE AND HAS MADE DEFAMATORY COMMENTS ABOUT ME AND MY PERSONAL LIFE. BY THE WAY WHERE HE SAID MY HUSBAND HAS LEFT ME AND WON'T BE COMING BACK MY HUSBAND OF 32 YEARS IS STANDING RIGHT BESIDE ME NOW AND HAS NEVER LEFT OUR MATRIMONIAL HOME - I HEREBY REQUEST THAT ALL OF HIS INAPPROPRIATE COMMENTS BE REMOVED AND THAT IF HE CONTINUES TO ATTACK AND/OR DEFAME ME PERSONALLY, WHICH COULD AMOUNT TO ‘STALKING’ THAT HE BE BANNED. THANK YOU.
