New Zealand fire victim was ‘tireless campaigner’ against smart meters, microwave transmissions and Wi-Fi dangers

‘The Oamaru man who died in a house fire on Thursday will be missed for his advocacy, expertise, generosity, friendship and courage, his friends say.
Rob Hutchins (64) died in a fire at his Test St house on Thursday. Mr Hutchins moved from Auckland to Oamaru 17 years ago and while in Otago made a large impression as a “tireless campaigner for the public good”, people who knew him said yesterday.
Mr Hutchins’ advocacy included raising awareness about microwave emissions from cellphone towers near schools, possible health concerns about wireless internet and campaigning against smart meters.
He also had a passion for Oamaru’s built heritage, and served for a time as a trustee and also deputy chairman of the Oamaru Whitestone Civic Trust.’
