Toowoomba Regional Council 2008 election - candidate Antonio sends mixed messages ...
22 February 2008
Councillor candidate and current Millmerran Mayor Paul Antonio hasn't been doing his homework.
As a result, he's sending mixed messages to the voters.
He states that he see "waste water as a tremendous community asset. We need to be looking at ways of preserving what we have, for example, through capturing more of our storm water, and grey water, and recycling it for non-drinking purposes."
See - Antonio won't force you to drink recycled water.
So, he's not in favour of using recycled water for drinking.
But then he says:
"Premier Anna Bligh’s announcement of the pipeline to Toowoomba is a welcome first step in ending the city’s water supply crisis."
See - But he seems happy if Anna Bligh does.
Anna's plan involves pumping recycled water (if she can find some) into Wivenhoe and pumping the mix to Toowoomba.
So which is it - is he in favour of people drinking recycled water or not?
At least he's clear on his own interest:
"Through a family trust, Paul owns a 10% share in a waste management company, GBG Management Pty Ltd, which uses technology developed by CQU to treat waste water, with fully organic processes. The company has grown rapidly and is currently expanding internationally."
Clear as mud - or sewage ...

Here we go again , an Elected Person making decisions about things they have no knowledge of.
It also seems that Antonio will say anything to get elected and now do the bidding of the Labour government.
We do not want that pipeline from Wivenhoe Dam as it now has recycled sewage going into it, that's if Anna Bligh has her way and can find enough to recycle.
I am also sure that the Brisbane community will not want to give away their water in these uncertain times.
The Toowoomba Regional Council should look to the west to solve our water crisis.
It will be interesting to watch these country councillors make decisions about Toowoomba's water problems as they will never have to drink recycled water in their home areas.

If only they would all stop beating around the bush about the bore water our problem might get solved. There is enough water down there in the GAB to solve Toowoomba's water problems permanently. Enough of the drink recycled effluent garbage already and get on with the job of getting that water to us is all I have to say!
