Written 3 years ago- when will there be accountability?


This letter to the Labour MP, Lynn Pillay, from the residents of EarthsongEcoNeighbourhood, an eco-village in the eco-city, articulates so clearly their heartfelt and utterly reasoned objection to the aerial spraying. Although written 3 years ago now, have they received a satisfactory answer? Not when the Minister of Biosecurity is still of the illusory mindset that people's ill health associated with the aerial spraying is caused by their "perceptions",ie, imaginary. The people of West Auckland, East Auckland and Hamilton deserve an apology and compensation for all the stress and suffering they have been subject to because of the aerial spraying campaigns. Yes, they deserve that, but maybe in 10 - 20 years time they might get it, when a future ecologically enlightened government sees this whole issue from a different paradigm.
