Beattie's 'liquid gold' news goes worldwide ...

For something that 'is done all over the world', it's odd that Premier Beattie's announcement of making SEQ residents drink recycled water makes headlines around the world - particularly in places where Beattie would have you believe there are long-standing planned potable reuse projects.

UK - Reuters - Australians to swallow unpalatable recycled water.

UK - Guardian - Australian state to recycle water.

Washington, DC - Washington Post.

Los Angeles, California - LA Times.

San Jose, California - The Mercury News.

How odd ...
