The trust factor ...

Who do you believe?

Federal Parliamentary Secretary MP Malcolm Turnbull (and Member for Wentworth in Sydney) who says (quoted in Toowoomba City Council advertisement, Chronicle 15 July 2006):

"No vote, No funding".

Or

Federal Minister MP Ian Macfarlane (and Member for Groom) who said the following (Chronicle 15 July 2006):

If the July poll came out in favour of the "No" case, Mr Macfarlane said it would fall to council to choose another option of which there were "plenty".

"They may or may not be expensive depending on which one they go for, and they may or may not be innovative enough that they will garner Federal Government support," Mr Macfarlane said.

"But if there is another application and it fits within the (National Water Commission) guidelines it will certainly have my whole-hearted support and I’d be pretty confident I could get some money for it."


Which politician represents Toowoomba?

Which politician lives in Sydney and does not advocate recycled sewage for drinking for his electorate of Wentworth?

Which politician seems to be blackmailing Toowoomba into accepting a recycled sewage option he is not asking his own electorate to accept?

Just a thought ...
