Smart Meters - Public Service Commission

We are now planning to move to South Australia to survive. What is happening in Victoria is a complete
breakdown of democracy and an affront to social justice of enormous proportions and implications.
What if this is happening to an old lady living alone? Where can she go? We are all morally obliged to speak up
and do something about it, if not for ourselves, for the vulnerable amongst us that, if affected, could not do
anything about it. Posted on Stop Smart Meters Australia

I had no idea that a smart meter would pose a hazard to my health when I agreed to let them install one on my
home. Shortly after the smart meter was installed my health took a terrible downturn. I began having heart
palpitations, trouble sleeping, unexplained anxiety attacks, dizzy spells, nausea and fatigue. I have been
battling anxiety for months and I had no idea why. I’ve never had these types of symptoms plague me like this
before. Then I found out that so many others have had the same reactions to smart meters in their homes and
neighborhoods. Smart meters need to be outlawed and all of them must be removed at once. There are enough
toxins in our food and the environment without this happening too. I hope I am able to get mine removed, but
from what I’ve read Southern California Edison isn’t cooperating. H .M. Orange CA

Since the new Smart Meter has been installed my wife has had a ringing in her ears. The only time she has this
is in our home. Outside of the house she does not have the problem. J. F. Sacramento CA

I was not asked permission to have the Smart Meter installed. In fact, when your representative/installer came
to my door informing me he would be installing the meter, I specifically told him that I did not want it
installed. He told me that I didn’t have a choice in the matter.
I am plagued with various health issues because of the Smart Meters, such as insomnia, constant headaches,
blurred vision and ringing in my ears, and other various aches and pains. I understand that others are
suffering from various health issues throughout the state and country as well. I do not want this device on my
home or in my neighborhood. I want the old analog meter re-installed. I also do not want the new digital meter
installed. I specifically want the old analog back which worked just fine. I want this Smart Meter removed
now! A.S. Bakersfield CA

For the past year, I have been suffering health effects due to the installation of a Smart Meter at my home and
the other homes in my neighborhood. I have experienced migraines, disrupted sleep, and electronic sensitivity
so that I was unable to use a computer or my cellphone without immediate nausea and headache. I feel
constant low-level anxiety when in my house which “magically” goes away every single time we have a power
outage. My husband has developed migraines, disrupted sleep, and tinnitis. I am concerned for the long term
health consequences on us and on my daughter who is almost 3.
I have called PG&E and they refuse to remove the Smart Meter from my house. Other electricians say that they
cannot replace the meter with an analog variety because it would be illegal. This product is making me sick,
and even with the money to pay for it, I am not allowed to have it removed.
I would like to see Smart Meters pulled from the market until thorough testing is done and they can be proved
safe. It is the responsibility of our government to protect public health from polluting corporations. Charging
for the right to “opt-out” is criminal because it subjects the poor to poisonous health effects, and also because
