Australia - Council supports fluoride

An impassioned address by anti-fluoride campaigner Dr John Ryan failed to sway Lismore City councillors at their meeting on Tuesday night, with Council voting down Cr Ros Irwin’s motion to oppose fluoridation.
Dr Ryan travelled from Brisbane with the sole purpose of addressing Council, and a full gallery watched the debate. But it seems councillors’ minds were well and truly made up, with only three councillors – Ros Irwin, Vanessa Ekins and John Chant – voting in favour of the motion.
Lismore and Richmond Valley Councils both support fluoridation, while Ballina Shire and Byron Council remain opposed.
