Recycled water- the divisions continue ...

It's interesting how the Yes/No divisions continue on the issue of recycled water.

Some may have thought that 6+ months after the Toowoomba poll things may have settled down.

But no.

As a guide, look at the statistics for the 3 surveys which have recently been in the right hand column of 4350water blog:

1. [Was] the 17 March poll a smokescreen for Premier Beattie's problems?

Answers (from 19 Jan) -
Absolutely - 44
Maybe - 2
No- 16
Impressions: 1,955

2. Is the plan for 100% 'Beattie Bitter' too hard to swallow?

Answers (from 25 Jan)-
Too right - 31
Maybe - 0
No - 24
Impressions - 1,515

3. Should Mayor Thorley be allowed to recycle her Water Futures project?

Answers (from 7 Feb) -
No way - 6
Maybe - 0
Yes - 4
Impressions - 172

Scientific results? No. But neither was Premier Beattie's survey when he magically seemed to find 78% in favour of drinking recycled water (just like Mayor Thorley before the Toowoomba poll proved her wrong).

One of the benefits of surveypopups.com is that it allows for only 1 vote per 'person', far better than some of the other online polls floating around during the Toowoomba poll.

Even discounting those who click on an option just to see the survey results, there is some serious multiple voting going on, probably on both sides of the debate.

Just shows how deeply felt this issue remains ...
