There is only 2 of these candidates who will fight for the Groom electorate not to have recycled sewage water and they are Rob Berry independent and Peter Finlay Family First.
Meibusch has been telling the community that he is listening about their concerns and has changed his mind on the use of recycled sewage water into the drinking supply but this campaign literature tells a different story. While Macfarlane helped get the vote on for the Toowoomba community his party would do it in a heart beat.
So diehard supporters of both of these parties are left in a quandary and maybe are left to protest with their number 1 choice by voting for one of these men and then the party of their normal support.

I read Meibusch's latest letterbox drop and it even contains a me-tooism under tax.

Obviously does not appear to letter drop in Middle Ridge - unless the dog ate it?
