Trust your Government to make the right decision ...

Are we confident that the politicians and public servants will make the right choice on recycled effluent?

A recent general study by QUT on issues of trust indicates that Australian don't trust public servants or the Federal government.

Under the study, 68% of those surveyed had little or no confidence in the public service and 60% had little or no confidence in Federal parliament.

It's a pity they didn't survey the level of trust in local governments. Imagine if a survey was done in Toowoomba at the moment. With the level of distrust around the city, I imagine the results for trust in the Council would be rock bottom.
