Malcolm Turnbull - community acceptance is critical ...

Comments by Malcolm Turnbull in a speech to the Centre for Independent Studies:

22 February 2006

"Some communities facing very severe water shortages, such as Toowoomba in Qld and Goulburn in NSW, are considering adding recycled water into the potable water supply. Community acceptance is critical to the success of such proposals."

And it is the Toowoomba community which Mayor Thorley ignores (unless she thinks giving everyone a $41,000 Water Book will solve everything).

She prefers to offer her pearls of wisdom at conferences around Australia (at ratepayers' expense) rather than deal with the issues in Toowoomba.
