Here is my email to my local council ...

Dear [Councillor Name],

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to you concerning a matter that has recently come to my attention through a friend living in Port Hedland, Western Australia. It appears that the Port Hedland Council is taking a significant stance on an issue that could have profound implications for communities across the country, including ours—namely, DNA contamination in medical treatments.

It is my understanding that the Port Hedland Council is either planning to circulate or has already circulated this information to councils across Australia, including a detailed report by Dr. David Speicher on DNA contamination and associated letters from Russell Broadbent MP. The aim of this effort appears to be to bring this matter to the attention of Australia’s 537 local councils, potentially triggering a legal duty of care for each council to address the findings.

The potential impact of this outreach is considerable. If councils take up this issue, it could place pressure on Canberra to break its silence and address the growing concerns. This is particularly pressing given the report's suggestion of a link between the contamination and a rise in aggressive cancers, as highlighted by Professor Angus Dalgleish’s statement during a recent council meeting in Port Hedland.

Given the potential health implications and the emphasis on a coordinated response, I am keen to understand more about this situation. Specifically, I would appreciate your perspective on the following:

* What is your understanding of the DNA contamination issue raised by the Port Hedland Council?

* What actions, if any, will our local council take in response to this information?

* How will you ensure that our community’s interests and safety are protected in light of these findings?

This matter could have serious consequences for public health, and it is crucial that our local government is actively engaged and informed. I would greatly appreciate your insights and any plans you have to address this pressing concern.

Thank you for your time and attention to this important issue. I look forward to your response.

Kind regards,

I'm convinced it was Port Hedlands imminent action that caused the state to drop mandates. I'm so grateful at least one council is not completely corrupt.
