If SEQ residents don’t choke on drinking treated sewage, they may choke on the price tag ...

See - Sunshine Coast Daily - Recycled sewage safe to drink.

Funny how the paper calls Jenifer Simpson an expert.

Even funnier is how she's lost a star. Recycled water used to be 6 star (under her self rating scheme) now she's downgraded it to 5 star.

You may remember Jenifer Simpson. She's the person who invented psychiatric disorders such as 'hydro-coprophobia':"Well, 'coprophobia' is...is actually a real word and it means 'a fear of faeces' so I've put a 'hydro' on the front of it which means 'a fear of wastewater'." (ABC Four Corners).

Known for the odd scare tactic: "Swimming pools, I think, will be a thing of the past. I don't know what the Olympic swimmers are going to do. They'll have to practise in the sea, won't they?" (ABC Four Corners)

And seems somewhat fixated on the terms used to describe recycled sewage - Plunder down under.

Prof. Greenfield now joins her with his QWC-inspired fixation on terminology - 'it's not sewage it's water' ...
