Beattie MP calls for independent inquiry ...
... into water options for South East Queensland.

Dam divides party
by Rosemary Odgers
In an embarrassing rebuff to Premier Peter Beattie's plans to dam the Mary River, one of his own MPs is to introduce a private member's Bill opposing the project.
Outspoken Noosa MP Cate Molloy yesterday confirmed she was considering the anti-Traveston Dam Bill and was already taking advice from experts including Greens leader Bob Brown.
Ms Molloy said that as well as opposing the dam, the Bill would call for an inquiry to consider other options to provide water for southeast Queensland.
Source - Courier Mail - Dam divides party.
The Coalition should request that the private member's Bill be expanded to ensure that Toowoomba's water source options are included as part of any inquiry ...

Hmmm. So many politicians against Dams. Makes you wonder how many of them see the potential for making money from the bottled water industry and perhaps have shares in the companies. I bet they all advocated drinking recycled effluent.
