Premier Beattie: don't listen to what I say ...

When it's time to vote on 17 March, bear in mind Premier Beattie's previous comments on making people in SEQ drink recycled water and ask yourself why he changed his mind so quickly:

Comments by Premier Beattie in State parliament on 6 June 2006:

"... I want to ensure that the people of Queensland are clear on my government's stance on the use of recycled water. It has never been the state government's policy to pump recycled water into dams. We are actively supporting the use of recycled water for industry. If there is a surplus, we will free it up for agricultural use, possibly in the Lockyer."

Premier Beattie then went on to say:

"I repeat: using recycled water for drinking is not my government's policy."

See - Premier Beattie backs away from recycled water for drinking.

Can you really believe anything he says ...

The Premier shouldn't leave his quotes lying around - they'll come back to haunt him:
