The coalition will not be supporting this. We understand the concerns that Senator Rhiannon alluded to, but we believe they have been more than dealt with as stated by the minister. I also note that the wave scans are within the limits set by the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency and that an assessment by the US Transportation Security Administration confirms the technology emits 10,000 times less radiofrequency than the average mobile phone call. So, unless you are going to take up residence in the booth and raise a family, you should be pretty right.
