Concerns over 5G rollout ‘informed by an outpouring of misinformation’

Nationals MP David Gillespie says the government is “focusing on the deployment and adaption of 5G” and has ensured the network is “incredibly safe”. A parliamentary committee was established in response to public distress over the safety levels of the new 5G rollout. Mr Gillespie told Sky News many of the concerns were “informed by an outpouring of misinformation” that was “circulating on an international scale to confuse people”. He said there was “a lot of confusion in these people's minds about radiation” but they should be reassured because the radio-frequency levels deployed by 5G were “directed much more discreetly to the individual hand pieces” and not in a concerning “scatter gun” manner. Mr Gillespie said the committee would not be addressing concerns about Huawei’s involvement in the network and was concentrating on relaying its “benefits” and reassuring public over “radiation” concerns.
