NSW Libs - vote for us and we'll force you to drink from the toilet ...
NSW opposition leader Mr Debnam misreads the surveys on acceptability of recycled water for drinking in the community. Decides to ask NSW residents to vote for him so he can force them to drink recycled water.
Mr Debnam said water recycling technology had been around for years and was used across the world. Has fallen for the recycled water industry propaganda.
Excerpt from SMH:
Premier Morris Iemma said the government already was expanding water recycling projects, but had no intention of forcing Sydney residents to drink recycled sewage.
"The only difference between what Peter Debnam has announced and what we are already doing is that we won't be forcing people to drink recycled sewage," Mr Iemma said in a statement.
"The Iemma government is recycling for industry, we're recycling for new release homes and we're recycling for environmental flows."

Iemma making industry drink recycled water:
"We are forcing industry to use it, whereas Mr Debnam wants to force the people of western Sydney to drink sewerage," he told reporters at a sewage treatment plant at Penrith, in western Sydney.

And the Water Utilities Minister's comments:
Meanwhile, the State Government says it has discovered there is a 49 billion litre black hole in the Opposition's water plan.
Water Utilities Minister David Campbell says the Opposition has overestimated the amount of water that is available.
"Twenty per cent of it is not available for use because it's solid matter in the sewage that he wants families to drink," he said.
"Then of course the Government has committed a great deal of the water that's remaining to industrial, agricultural and other uses already."

I guess they are all going to get on and build dams because the rains are coming.
The community will never vote a party in on the promise of recycled sewage water in the drinking supplies.
I don't know what polls they are taking notice of because the only community who had a say , said NO!!!
