The 4350water Blog highlights some of the issues relating to proposals for potable reuse in Toowoomba and South East Qld. 4350water blog looks at related political issues as well.
[T]he Government has been accused of lying over its claims that London residents drink recycled water after Thames Water said that was not "strictly true" given it did not operate any water reuse schemes.

For many years, the 4350water blog has informed readers of plans by the Toowoomba City Council (now Toowoomba Regional Council) and the Qld government to introduce recycled water for drinking in Toowoomba. It has also looked at the issue from a State and Federal perspective and dealt with related State and Federal political issues. There continues to be a need for the Toowoomba Regional Council to be completely transparent in its dealings with the ratepayers and residents of Toowoomba. There also continues to be a need for open debate on the benefits and risks of potable reuse and long-term studies on the effects on humans of drinking recycled water. Coal seam gas water is emerging as a possible alternate water source for some uses for the region. The 4350water blog is a collective effort and thanks go to its many contributors.

Anna's advisers must be telling her to get off the topic of water for a few days.
How?
Talk about daylight saving - hint about a split with Beattie and then wait for Pete to come back from his trip and reassure Qlders that there will be no daylight saving.
C'mon Anna - you've got to come up with less transparent games if you want to fool the voters.
Excerpt from the Courier Mail:
Bligh breaks ranks on daylight saving
21 March 2007
Queensland's Deputy Premier Anna Bligh says she would love to see daylight saving in the Sunshine State - despite Premier Peter Beattie's staunch opposition.
As another daylight saving period ends in other states this weekend, Ms Bligh broke ranks with her boss to express support for winding the clocks forward in summer.
"Personally I'd love to see daylight saving in the southeast corner," Ms Bligh said.
"But I'm very mindful that it's not something that would apply easily to other parts of the state, and I'm very ambivalent about the prospect of having different time zones within one state boundary."
Her comments put her directly at odds with Mr Beattie who has long been opposed to daylight saving, as well as to two different time zones.
