Gold Coast councillor - SEQ recycling advisory panel is biased ...

Excerpt from ABC News:

Councillor says panel appointment pushes towards recycled water

18 January 2007

A Gold Coast city councillor has questioned the Water Commission's appointment of a panel to advise it on technical issues associated with recycled water.

The chairwoman of the council's water sustainability committee says it is further evidence the State Government is determined to add recycled water to south-east Queensland's drinking supplies.

Daphne McDonald says the appointment of a panel of experts seems to make a plebiscite irrelevant.

...

"Victoria has decided not to go with recycled water into their potable water supplies because there are other ways of introducing recycled water into the community without it going into our drinking supplies and the Gold Coast has done that."
