The great recycled sewage escape clause ...
Every government likes a good escape clause when making a commitment:
"Premier Beattie and Mayor Di Thorley have said that they have investigated all other options and have assured the Australian Government that these other options are not feasible for both environmental and economic reasons."
See - Turnbull press release.
So, if it turns out that there are other viable options, well, the Federal government was just relying on what Premier Beattie and Mayor Thorley had assured them. So it's their fault. The Federal Libs will get to belt Qld State Labor for misleading them (which may well be the plan) and Mayor Thorley, well, she'll be history anyway.
Or something like that ...

Wasn't the meeting at the Prep School? Has Turnbull got it wrong again?

'I also pointed out that alternative plans could not be assumed to have Australian Government support. Any other plans would have to be assessed on their merits and if they lack the innovative character of Water Futures they would have less prospect of funding from the Water Smart Australia programme.'
Have to be a really 'innovative' ad campaign to make people drink their own sewage.
Start in Turnbull's electorate.

Same old drink it or we won't give you money for anything else. I object to threats and blackmail.
