Australian - Ryan wants fluoride public consultation
Ryan wants fluoride public consultation
Posted 5 hours 23 minutes ago
The leader of the Victorian Nationals, Peter Ryan, says the public should be consulted before fluoride is introduced to water supplies in country towns.
The Department of Human Services wants Ballarat's water supply fluoridated to improve dental health.
Some central Victorian towns, such as Castlemaine and Maryborough, are yet to have fluoride added to their water.
Mr Ryan supports fluoridation, but says some in the community are sceptical and they should be consulted.
"If you're going to have these things happen then it's best to take people with you and the best way to do that is to have a consultative process which is transparent and gives everybody the opportunity to have their say, now that's not to say that the Government needs to wait on this forever," he said.
