MP Kerry Shine - AWOL from the debate?

MP Kerry Shine was in State Parliament last week but noticeably silent on the issue of the Toowoomba recycled water project.

His electorate (Toowoomba North) will be affected by any decision to proceed with recycled water for drinking in Toowoomba. His National Party rivals whose electorates are also affected by the project were very vocal in their comments in State Parliament last week. But Mr Shine was very quiet on the issue.

He is the only State government elected representative for the Toowoomba area who has not clearly stated his position on the recycled water proposal.

How many voters do you think there are in Toowoomba North who are against the Mayor's proposal and would support a similarly thinking (anti-recycled effluent drinking) candidate at the next State election?

Maybe party politics are getting in the way of Mr Shine saying what he really thinks ...
