| Simon Chapman blasts 'wing nut' anti-wind farm activists. |
Simon Chapman, a professor of public health at the
University of Sydney, whose research led to the development of cigarette plain
packaging, had been asked to respond to a Senate inquiry into the health
effects of wind farms.
That inquiry, led by crossbench Senators John Madigan David
Leyonhjelm and Bob Day, delivered its report on Monday, three days after its
draft findings were published in News Corp. The committee recommended the
government establish an independent scientific panel with powers to block new
wind farm projects on public health grounds.
