Dr Mariana Alves-Pereira: "The idea that we have to perceive the agent of disease for it to do harm is wrong...different tissues respond differently to different frequencies."

We don't see X-rays, radiation or viruses, but we know these can harm us. So too can the specific modulation signature of ILFN emitted by wind turbines hurt us.

There are voluminous studies confirming these ill effects, including graphic accounts of regret expressed by wind turbine hosts at a SA Senate Committee Hearing on wind turbines, recorded in Hansard on 10/6/2015. Suffering from "unbearable sleep destroying noise" is not lessened by the $1million income for hosting 19 wind turbines.

It is time governments considered fully the health implications of ILFN when siting wind farms near people's homes. Ideally, there should be a buffer of 20km to all residences, or at least 5km, plus effective noise mitigation products installed to minimise harmful effects on people who otherwise become forced to consider abandoning their homes.

As wind farms are spreading more and more across our landscapes, getting taller and more intense, more and more people are shocked to feel the realities of living near them and shocked that their problems are being ignored by wind industry developers, councils and governments.

We could all become "collateral damage", unless current outdated guidelines are reassessed soon. There is even a petition being raised on change.org about this - well worth everyone reading: "Stop all wind turbine projects until 'infrasound' health issues have been investigated"

It has been more than a century since the ANZAC legend was forged on battlefields across Europe.

Amid the horrors that played out in theatres of war in locations which are now infamous, an enduring legacy was built around the spirit of mateship.

This very concept of loyalty and sacrifice would go on to define our national character. These same threads exist today and form the fabric of our society. Whether it be the First or Second World War, or more recent deployments to the Middle East or Afghanistan, one doesn't have to look too hard to see this commitment of looking out for each other.

The Salvation Army shares this same spirit of mateship today as we did serving our troops in the Boer War around the turn of the 20th Century. Whether it be a hot drink and a snack to sustain weary minds and bodies, or a listening ear and words of strength and encouragement for those most in need, the Salvos were there.

Today, whether in barracks or in the field on exercises, or serving on overseas deployments, The Salvos are still there...and always will be. Because that's what mates do.

In Friday's front page coverage of Anzac Day services in Bega, reference was made to Ron Mullaney being a Navy veteran and that he was joined by his granddaughters among the main service's flag bearers. This was incorrect as Mr Mullaney served in the Australian Army and Air Force Flight Lieutenant Lauren Dickson is his great-niece, not granddaughter. The error was corrected for our online coverage, but unfortunately not in time for the printed issue. The Bega District News apologises to Mr Mullaney and Ms Dickson for the errors, and to readers for any confusion caused.
