Have you heard the Telstra's latest news?

According to Libby Lyons, Telstra "is at the early stage of assessing a new product that is in the international market" - easy to use handsets for preschoolers. "It is just another product we are assessing", she said. The preschooler can only call 3-4 pre-programmed numbers! Parents and 'authorities" were asked for comments - not one expressed concern with EMR. And not one question from the journos to Libby Lyons (this glib blonde young thing) re the health effects - apparently the only concern is the debt and who would pay for it!? All Charles Britton of the Australian Consumers Association apparently had to say was "prepaid is certainly the way to go - they can't get into financial difficulties - you can't give a 5 year old a credit card."

It was on tonight's Channel 10 news and A Current Affair. http://aca.ninemsn.com.au/
