Victorian Citizens are being forced to have Smartmeters installed without consultation or choice, in total disregard for what they believe are their human rights:

* to protection from hazards to their health and safety;
* to choose what is installed in their homes;
* to protection of their economic interests;
* to protection of their privacy;
* to access to adequate information to enable the right to making informed choices according to individual wishes and needs.

There are many concerns regarding smart meters including;

* health issues, including radiation;
* additional cost on households,
* the additional costs of time of use tariffs would impose on households;
* the accuracy of smart meters and the inability of households to check energy consumption levels;
* that installers of smart meters may not be appropriately qualified;
* individuals making it known that they did not want a smart meter installed at their property, or wanted their meter removed being totally disregarded
* problems with wiring, the possibility of fires developing and the loss of appliances following installation and consumers rights for replacement of their assets and appliances
* insurance concerns
* privacy of data collected and concerns over hacking of the system to name the main concerns

For more details on concerns and links to other sites go to stopsmartmeters.com.au and register your details to receive regular updates. More info also at www.stopsmartmeters.com.au

We look forward to your support and passing this to other Victorian Citizens concerned about their basic rights.

Kinderhouse Montessori (KHM) in Mira Mesa is an accredited American Montessori Institute school, dedicated to the developing minds of our children. As parents of children who attend this school, we fully support the school's desires to transition its reach to the elementary school grades.

Currently, only pre-school through kindergarten is offered, and special permission must be obtained by the Mira Mesa Town Comittee and Councilman Carl Demaio before the school is allowed to continue education for the attending childred beyond kindergarten.

This petition is intended to demonstrate that the local community supports this effort. Transition to elementary school will mean so much to those parents who rely on the outstanding care offered by KHM, and by offering the chance to continue our childrens’ education within Mira Mesa, we will continue to develop our shopping habits around our daily commute to and from school, which can only help support the success of local establishments.

From the Parents and Staff of Kinderhouse, thank you for your consideration and support.
