Water takes centre stage again in State parliament ...

From ABC News:

Qld Govt commits to water projects

A day after sustained attack in Parliament over water issues, the Queensland Government has hit back with an announcement of extra funding for water infrastructure.

The Opposition yesterday accused the Government of failing to address drastic water shortages.

Premier Peter Beattie this morning unveiled a further $127 million for water projects in south-east Queensland.

The Water Minister, Henry Palaszczuk, has told Parliament the developments will help secure future water supplies.

Once again, no mention of the Toowoomba Water Futures project by the State government ...

I think it's just a case of "wait and see" with the state government personally. really this problem should of been addressed years ago. there are that many alternatives but unfortunatly toowoomba seems too be an "experment" too see what recycled water is like for drinking purposes!!
