Australia - Govt's inquiry response hits raw nerve with dentists

Dr Wilson says the Government has refused a recommendation to force councils around the state to add fluoride to drinking water.
"That's one of the ones the Government's just said 'no, we don't agree with that recommendation'," he said.
"So that leaves something like 10 per cent of the New South Wales population without fluoridated water and with a very difficult mechanism there to try and get their areas fluoridated."

So Dr Wilson despairs of the very difficult mechanism to get fluoridation. I'm sure the governement would like to have a despot's power as well to do everything they want without common people having a say.
