For those interested in more information about the fluoride issue, we have compiled a list of resources to help raise awareness and also to help anyone wanting to take action and challenge the mandatory fluoridation chemicals in community water. If you are speaking to your local councillors, local council, MP or anyone else, you may find something useful to share from this list.

1) Peter Dunne and Water Fluoridation legislation 2016 (8.56 mins)
The amendment to the Health Act that made provision for the DGoH to be the sole decider about water fluoridation was first tabled in parliament in 2016 by Peter Dunne. At that stage fluoridation decision making was going to be shifted to the DHBs but by the time it got passed into law (2021) Labour was in power and the DHBs were gone, so the decision making power went to the Director-General of Health.
Watch this short video of Peter Dunne delivering the 1st Reading in parliament. He is derogatory about those with concerns.
@ 4.07 “So Mr Speaker I say, for the benefit of the tin-foil hat wearing, UFO-abducted anti-fluoride campaigners out there still peddling the same old pseudoscience myths, there is nothing left to debate on this issue. It is over, science has won. The government’s website, fluoridefacts.govt.nz provides comprehensive information and responses on community fluoridation, and I encourage anyone interested in this issue to take a look.”
2) Question to Dr Shane Reti 2023 (1.12 mins)
A member of the public asks Dr Reti, Minister of Health, if he is aware of the recent NTP (National Toxicology Programme) report showing fluoride lowers IQ. [Note Chris Bishop smirking when it is stated that fluoride lowers the IQ of children.] Dr Reti ‘believes in a different science’ but is unwilling/unable to reference his science. A religion perhaps?
3) Fluoride on the Brain 2023 (36 mins)
This is a recent documentary made in conjunction with Reality Check Radio and describes the current situation in New Zealand. It is notable that none of the proponents of fluoridation from the Ministry of Health in NZ were willing to speak and explain ‘their science’ or how the benefits supposedly outweigh the risks. Dr Robin Whyman, Director NZ Dental Association, did provide written correspondence after the film was completed which is available in the links below the film.
4) Dr Scanlon presentation to New Plymouth Council 2011 (8.16 mins)
Part of Dr Peter Scanlon’s presentation to the New Plymouth District Council’s Tribunal Hearing in 2011. Councillors decided to stop 40-year fluoridation program as a result of the Hearing. Dr Scalon’s 40 minute presentation played a big part in that decision.
5) Dr Paul Connett interviews Dr John Colquhoun (NZ dentist) 1998 (52.23 mins)
This is an interview during one of Paul Connett’s NZ tours. In 1971, Dr Colquhoun became Principal Dental Officer for the Auckland Health District and was very pro-fluoridation. In 1980 he was asked to do a world tour to learn more about water fluoridation to support the implementation of it in NZ. What he found did not support the implementation of fluoridation and he became an ardent anti-fluoridationist! Hear him tell his story in his own words.
6) Presentation of Petition to Hastings District Council May 2024 (16 mins)

7) Presentation to Tararua District Council May 2024 (39 mins)
Two community members make a presentation to Tararua Council regarding their concerns re fluoridation. The Mayor abruptly dismisses their request for a discussion @39.42.
“But I’ll give you a quick answer in the short term before I discuss this with councillors. But in the next few weeks, no we won’t be having those conversations. This council has their focus and energy on the long term plan and that’s the role of this council.”
8) Presentation to Cambridge Community Board Jun 2024 (25 mins)
An articulate community member expresses the concerns and wishes of citizens (@22.15 – 47.13) and asks why their voices don’t matter.
