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.

He gave considered answers and he was seen in a new light.

Swan was very nervous in his opening address.
Both performed better than Howard and Rudd.
Swan's main tactic was to keep trotting out the line about the government promising to keep interest rates at 30 year lows (which they still are). Not all that effective in front of the National Press Club.

Excerpt from News.com.au:
PM attacks over warmonger slur

A buoyant John Howard accused Labor leader Kevin Rudd of lacking "backbone" and said Treasurer Peter Costello had "creamed" his opponent as the Coalition enjoyed a minor comeback in the polls.

With today's Newspoll showing the Coalition slicing Labor's lead to within 10 points for the first time this year, Mr Howard declared his treasurer the winner of today's debate at the National Press Club.
Most commentators either declared a draw or gave Mr Costello a narrow win over Wayne Swan in the 90-minute verbal battle over inflation, interest rates, industrial relations and both men's leadership aspirations.
But Mr Howard had no doubt.
"I thought Mr Costello creamed him," Mr Howard said after watching about three-quarters of the nationally televised debate.
However, Mr Rudd said the "worm" – the Nine Network's monitor of audience response – gave the win to Mr Swan.
"I think the worm has a real problem with (a) Mr Costello and (b) Mr Costello's attitude to Work Choices," Mr Rudd told reporters.
But Mr Costello dismissed the worm, telling reporters later in Queanbeyan: "Managing the Australian economy is not done by worm, it takes policy and it takes experience."
