Uproar in State parliament over recycled water plan ...

Fun and games down in State parliament again yesterday.

See - Hansard - 7 February 2007.

Premier Beattie and Anna Bligh trying to justify forcing SEQ residents to drink recycled water.

The Premier seems to think London is his best example. Not really a good choice.

He thinks 95% recycled water is ok.

Apparently anyone with an opposing view is 'scaremongering'.

And Berlin becomes one of his shiny new examples of 'it's done all over the world'. First time that city has been raised in the debate.

And this from the Premier who said last year that Toowoomba's proposal was 'an experiment' and personally he 'wouldn't drink recycled water'.

But then again 6 months is a lifetime in politics ...
