Many thanks to those of you that have already done so.

We are looking for a full time Trust Manager
The more work we
do in this area, the more
we see that needs to be done
and too often we are limited by the number of hours in the day. So the
NZHT has resolved to appoint a full time manager/administrator to oversee all
aspects of the Trust's operations. The work will include project management,
media and political liaison work and dealing with industry and consumer communications. The
person we're looking for needs;
- an interest in protecting health freedoms
- an open and analytical mind
- good organisation, written and oral skills
- a high level of initiative
- a confident and positive personality.
The
position is based in Christchurch
and offers excellent remuneration
to the right person. If you're
interested or know of someone
who might be please apply
in writing to the NZ Health Trust, PO Box 34057, Christchurch 8030.
Applications close 12 August 2005. MPS
QUESTIONED ON NATURAL HEALTH STANCE With the election approaching we
have written to all parties in Parliament and asked them to respond to 10 questions
designed to clarify their stance on natural health issues. We hope to bring you
their feedback in the next issue.

supplements in New Zealand and what we can do about it. Click

TGA GAGGED IN LEAD UP TO ELECTION?
Refusal by the TGA and Medsafe
to talk publicly about the proposed Joint agency have some wondering whether
a gag order has come down from on high banning anyone from talking about this
issue in the lead up to the election - maybe there is a concern that this issue
will become too much of a political hot potato? Click

AUSTRALIAN CONTACT YOUR MP FACILITY
For our Australian subscribers
the NZHT website now includes now an Australian contact your MP facility
allowing you to email your MP and tell them your concerns about the TGA
proposal. We urge you to let your concerns be heard! New Zealand
experience has been that this is a very effective tool in the battle
to save our supplements. The
site features a form letter you can use or customise as you wish, or you
can write your own message. You will see the Australian link on the following
page http://nzhealthtrust.co.nz/cgi-bin/massmailerMPs.cgi ?
As always this is a numbers game and so while we
continue to work to defeat this proposal we would be grateful for you
passing this newsletter and the details of our website to as many of
your friends and colleagues as you can. Thank you for your support.
Kind Regards Dave Sloan
