Groom candidate Meibusch supports drinking recycled water ...
Labor's candidate for Groom wanted people in Toowoomba to drink recycled water but didn't want to give them the opportunity to vote on the issue.
Excerpt from ABC News:
ALP candidate attacks Govt over water crisis
9 May 2006
The Labor Party's new candidate for the federal seat of Groom has already taken a swipe at the Federal Government's handling of Toowoomba's water shortage.
Chris Meibusch has won preselection over the previous ALP candidate and union organiser Paul King.
The Toowoomba lawyer says he supports the Toowoomba City Council's proposal to recycle sewage for drinking water.
But he says the Federal Government should have already funded the project and not left it to residents to decide.
"Our major position in relation to the issue is that we think there's been a total lack of leadership by the minister for water, Malcolm Turnbull, in referring it to a referendum," he said.
"The local council here, who represent the community, have shown leadership and we shouldn't have a referendum on this issue."
See - Meibusch - Toowoomba gets no vote and has to drink recycled water.

Many people will be voting for the candidate who tell them that they will not be supporting the use of recycled sewage water for drinking .

He has just put another nail in the coffin and decreased his chance to win this seat .
He was on thin ice and now he fell in the icy water because he shows all just how little he knows about recycled sewage water and the fact that it will not save us in a time of drought.
He must he listening to his Labour Party mates in city hall.

He is like the rest of the labour party - dictator.
He thinks he is going to win the seat. I have news for him, and it aren't good.
What is the views on the Family First candidate, maybe that could be posted.

Nothing really needs to be said further - typical Labor - give us the power and we will do the thinking for you - forever
You then forgo your rights as a person to a Party that will undemocratise you and all that think against it.
Thank goodness Meibusch will be relegated to an also run
I shall vote for Rob Berry with my second preference to Macfarlane - Meibusch last
Walks like a dunce, talks like a dunce, is a ..........
