To the Department of State Growth

To the Department of State Growth,
Kelvin and Celia McCausland of Norwood Launceston write this submission in reference to the "Restoring Tasmania Energy Advantage Draft Document" that was mentioned in the Mercury on 22/12/14 "Pay less Power Strategy"
In the Draft Energy Document pdf on page 15 smart meters are specifically mentioned in a highlighted box and on page 21 (4.3.5) and (4.3.6) it is obvious that the introduction of Smart Meter technology is considered as an essential part of the Tasmanian Draft Energy Strategy.
As there is worldwide controversy relating to the introduction of Smart Meters that involve consumer dissatisfaction as well as real dangers surrounding this technology, we feel that Smart Meters should NOT be compulsory and would urge the Government to look at the stopsmartmeters.uk website where the concern for health effects, dangers and causing a huge expense to the Government has been a great concern. Also we would urge the Government to watch the film "Take back your power" which proves that smart meters are a very unpopular choice and not a good idea at all.
Yours Sincerely,
Kelvin and Celia McCausland
