Heh, heh.

Leichhardt is worried about property values and is using the schools 
angle as a
trojan horse. Down where nobody's investments are threatened, there is a huge
mobile tower, within a few hundred metres of two schools (a Whereis on
Derbyshire Road, Lilyfield gives a rough approximation) - Orange Grove 
Primary,
and Leichhardt High. Near Orange Grove, there's also a large clump of cells
installed at the Ambulance HQ building. And so on.

I can't see why people who will spend ages with 100mW within an inch of their
brains can argue that the towers are more dangerous ...
