QWC claims Olympic record for NEWater tasting ...
In what must be some form of record, the QWC claims that it handed out NEWater samples on People's Day at the Brisbane Exhibition at the rate of a cup every 4 seconds.
Excerpt from QWC media release:
"There were very long queues to try the samples at the Ekka. On people's day on Wednesday alone, we provided 8,600 samples to the public."
People at the Ekka on the day give a very different account.
Assuming NEWater operations for the full 10 hours (unlikely), that means an average of 860 samples an hour or more than 14 samples per minute or one sample every 4 seconds - for the entire day.
That must be some kind of record with a high probability of plenty of RSI for those handing out the samples.
And if you believe this latest load of absolute hogwash from the QWC (whose head stumbles from one failing company to the next), Anna Bligh wants to sell you the Storey Bridge ...

When I came across them giving out this recycled water, they were asking people to take samples. Nobody I saw took one!
There media release is a heap of garbage, but then I guess they had to say that to justify these staff members going to the ekka at taxpayers expense!

What would you expect from Qld Water Commission? They are not telling the truth about anything.
They are being paid plenty to promote the drinking of recycled sewerage water and the media are right behind them as the pressure is coming from the State Labour Govt to "soften up" the people into accepting it. Bring on the elctions and we will see how smart the Qld people really are.

Unfortunately, the government relies on the apathy of most voters to enable them to force through these types of things.

Imagine how many people would ask for some if they engaged in a little 'truth in advertising' and put up a sign which said - 'water recovered from household and industrial waste and sewage'.
