Toowoomba City Council perpetuates the Dr Leslie "independence" myth ...

The minutes of the Council's meetings on 1-2 November 2005 refer to presentations being given by "Dr Leslie of the University of New South Wales".

Why is it that the Council refuses to add "and consultant to CH2M Hill"? They don't seem to want Toowoomba residents to know this.

There are certainly people to whom Dr Leslie has spoken as part of these sessions who are surprised ("shocked" was one person's reaction) when subsequently told that he is a consultant to one of the contractors on the project.

It's little wonder that there is so little trust among the parties when these are the games being played. It reflects poorly on all those involved including the institutions they represent.

When he gives out business cards, do you think it's the Uni. NSW ones or the CH2M Hill consultant ones?

It's the difference between a real scientist and one who is just out to line his pockets!

why does he keep trotting out the 'safe for my 5 year old' line? In the chronicle it was his 5 year old daughter - on SBS it was his 5 year old son. does he even live in Toowoomba?

Do you think he's being manipulated by the Council?
