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.
... hardly a meaningful threat to those Councillors whose jobs will disappear under the Beattie reforms.

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.

Isn't it about time that we looked at how many state politicans we have that are drawing money out of the coffers, who really serve no purpose. Why do we need so many of them, time for change at a state level as well.

It seems that the Goff Whitlam's master plan will come about. Beattie has nothing to loose as he is off to London!
All we want to see is Beattie gone soon and then the fight will be on and Anna will have many knives in her back the moment she steps up to take the role of Premier.
The back room boys are working on it now!!!

Beattie copped a few eggs on TV yesterday as he faced angry voters.
Excerpt from the Courier Mail:
Beattie bends on local votes
30 July 2007
Voters will be able to elect representatives from their own areas in a revision to the overhaul of Queensland's councils.
Responding to fears that isolated areas may lose representation in merged "super-shires", the Government yesterday assured residents they could vote in wards or divisions if requested.
Some proposed names may also be changed, but the State Government has remained firm in its staunch opposition to council referendums on the merger plan.

Premier's plan beaten around in the bush
30 July 2007
A chorus of angry booing and chants of "bugger off Beattie" and "Fraser the fornicator" welcomed the Premier and Local Government Minister to Barcaldine yesterday.
People threw eggs, threatened to block Peter Beattie and Andrew Fraser's exit from the town and hurled abuse throughout a prayer in a day of high emotion in the central western town.
Surrounding the bare trunk of the dead Tree of Knowledge, about 800 people came to town to protest against the State Government's plans to forcibly amalgamate local shires.

All labor politicians at any level of government should be kicked out - as they are are social tamperers with the lives of people
