Mayor Thorley in 2004 - Toowoomba has NO water problem ...

From the Courier Mail:

Toowoomba Mayor Di Thorley, who has championed water recycling, was another politician who dismissed fears of a water crisis as alarmist in 2004.

"There is nobody in dire straits of running out of water," she said.

Suddenly, in mid-2005, it was never going to rain again and Toowoomba was going to run out of water by Christmas.

Amazing ...
