A government briefing paper estimates telecommunications companies spent almost $8 million in 2020 repairing damage caused by 5G conspiracy theorists, including replacing towers and other communications infrastructure

The vandalism was one of at least 11 similar attacks in NSW this year. Vandals remove nuts from the bolts that secure the towers to the ground, causing them to eventually topple.

WTF ??? Who does this ?

      Same people that want to fight emergency services that try to help them. Hate to have my last phone call to a dying relative cut short because some fuckwit believes what they read on social media.
