Fluoride rejection leads to opposition outrage in northern NSW

The New South Wales Opposition says a choice by a chamber in the state's north to keep fluoride out of its water supply indicates the Health Minister's approach to the issue has fizzled.

The frequency of adolescence tooth rot in the Byron Shire is around the most exceedingly awful in the state.

Restriction Health Spokesman, Dr Andrew MacDonald, acquainted a bill with parliament prior in the not so distant future that might give the Government the ability to constrain committees to fluoridate their water. It was however contradicted by the government.

He said, "We've done the carrot, now is the right time for the stick. The kids of the Byron Shire are significantly more paramount than anybody's pride. We require those kids to have their open health secured by the New South Wales Government.”

State Health Minister Jillian Skinner rather offered a $7.5 million motivation bundle to urge boards to add fluoride to their water.

However, yesterday the Byron Shire Council voted 5-3 against a movement to fluoridate.

Dr MacDonald says it is currently time for the Minister to underpin his bill.

It was added that that is their employment; there is no decision, there is no reason, the time it now, time for the New South Wales Government to stop this bazaar and assume ownership over the soundness of the kids of the north coast.
