Yes campaign has 16 votes ...

The Toowoomba City Council's Water Futures supporters book has been online for 3-4 weeks.

Ignoring the four anonymous comments and two apparently from people outside Toowoomba, the Water Futures project has 16 supporters - so 16 people likely to vote Yes on 29 July.

(Interestingly, a number of the supporters' comments seem somewhat scripted - perhaps by Mayor Thorley's Yes team - with around $7,000 of ratepayers' money being used on the Yes campaign each day, perhaps preparing supporters' comments is one of their tasks.)

Add to this number, Mayor Thorley and the rest of the six pack and there's 22 votes.

You could add Kevin Flanagan to the list but he doesn't live in Toowoomba and therefore doesn't get to vote on 29 July.

There's probably a few more Yes voters out there.

But the numbers who have left comments online for the supporters' book are similar to the numbers turning up for the Council's forum sessions.

Seems it is getting harder for Mayor Thorley to generate any interest in her recycled sewage project ...

I cannot go anywhere and find any of these YES voters.
This poll should end now as it is based on lies.
After Mr Flanagan told the councillors to-day, we now know that we ARE a part of S/E Qld and we should be entitled to all that Beattie is promising the Brisbane neighbours.
Come on Peter, get with the programme and stop the rot up here on the mountain.

It's funny that Toowoomba is now part of SEQ - therefore it should be in the SEQ plans.

Toowoomba is also in QLD and Beattie says it is not QLD state government policy to put recycled sewage into QLD dams. Guess the Toowoomba City Council will just have to move Cooby Dam to NSW.

Maybe that's why they wanted to recycle water into Milne Bay pool - it's not a dam.
