Greg Leslie comes back to play ...

Toowoomba City Council's so-called 'independent' expert, resurfaces to give his views on the NO vote.

From ABC News:

Associate Professor Greg Leslie says if Toowoomba residents had been given more information before the referendum they would have voted differently.

"What we need to do is make sure that when the next vote comes along there's a more informed debate," he says."The next town that makes this decision would probably do it in a more enlightened environment rather than one that was dominated by [the belief] you'll be drinking turds from your toilet."

Source - ABC News - NO vote wins.

Well, Dr Leslie, you had almost one year to provide this information to Toowoomba residents.

In that time, neither you nor the Toowoomba City Council could explain how a fundamentally flawed project was the best thing for Toowoomba.

No-one could explain how you could get 11,000 ML of recycled water from 8,000 ML of raw sewage.

No-one could explain where the RO waste stream would go - Acland Coal didn't want it.

Good luck on the next project - but it would be better to start with something that works before you try to sell it to the public ...
