To the Honourable the President and Members of the Senate in Parliament assembled.

The petition of the undersigned citizens respectfully shows that we, as members of the Australian community, urge the Government to:

(a) immediately commence a moratorium on the erection of mobile phone towers;

(b) institute, as a matter of urgency, a Senate inquiry into health and environmental risks that may be associated with mobile phone towers;

(c) enact, in liaison with State and Territory Governments, appropriate legislation that shall prevent the erection of any future mobile phone towers in the immediate vicinity of any school, kindergarten, child care centre, recreation centre or playground.

And your petitioners as in duty bound will ever pray.
