Is MP Turnbull misleading the public yet again?

From the man who said Israel was a good recycled water for potable use example.

Whatever he's not having

FEDERAL water tsar Malcolm Turnbull spoke at an up-market noshery in Brisbane yesterday on the virtues of a privatised water supply, but well after many of the 400 diners had started tucking into the water on the tables, they were told it was recycled Toowoomba water.

This is the stuff that was originally, well, sewage, but due to the miracle of modern science it is now perfectly drinkable, apparently.

The city is voting on whether this will be the standard stuff that comes out of their taps, but Turnbull set a personal example yesterday in the consumption of the water, pouring from the jug liberally.

When he entered politics after a stellar business and legal career he'd have been told he'd have to eat a lot of excrement, but he probably didn't realise he'd have to drink a lot as well.

Given that the recycled sewage facility (to so-called drinking standard) has not yet been built, how could Malcolm have been sipping recycled Toowoomba sewage ...
