Australia - Mount Gambier is expected to have fluoridated water by Christmas
Fluoride for Christmas
By Tim Gerritsen Mount Gambier is expected to have fluoridated water by Christmas, as the city's pumping station comes back on-line.
.........Legislative Council member Anne Bressington is continuing to call for the practice of "forced fluoridation" to end, after telling State Parliament this year that there's evidence that fluoridation can have a negative impact on some people's health.
Ms Bressington has sided with local residents who say fluoridation removes their choice of whether to consume fluoride or not.
It follows action by the protest group, Choice Mount Gambier, which collected 11 thousand signatures on petitions calling for Mount Gambier's residents to have a vote on whether to consume fluoride or not.
A member of Choice, Alex Young, also chained himself to the gates of the Blue Lake to halt construction of the fluoride plant.
Despite SA Water still carrying out the State Government's request to begin fluoridation, Ms Bressington's office has confirmed the issue still being pursued in the halls of State Parliament.
