Qld Labor's shifting views on recycled water ...
Excerpt from LNP Media Release:
Labor recycled water was never for drinking… just for industry.
24 October 2005 – Channel Nine News
REPORTER: So is this the start of a Government campaign to get us conditioned to drinking recycled water?
PETER BEATTIE: It's for industry. We're not talking about drinking it, so let's not have any concern in the community about that.
16 November 2006 – Anna Bligh, 4BC
“We are well on track to secure water supplies without recycled drinking water.” – Acting Premier Anna Bligh, 4BC, 16 November 2006
Recycled Water Policy Position No. 2
Labor said it could be for drinking… but only if a referendum gave to go ahead…
3 August 2006 – Australian Financial Review article
Mr Beattie said recycled water for drinking would be used only in an “Armageddon” scenario.
“There will be no recycled water in any dam without the full approval of the people in a referendum,” he said.
Recycled Water Policy Position No. 3
Labor said they would force recycled water on everyone… and the promised referendum would be cancelled…
28 January 2007 – Peter Beattie and Anna Bligh, Media Release
“The data the Deputy Premier (Anna Bligh) has presented to me upon my return indicates that it appears inevitable that we will have to rely on purified recycled water – it is no longer an option, we have no choice.” – Peter Beattie
“To end any uncertainty about when we use purified recycled water, it must simply be a part of our ongoing water supply strategy.” – Anna Bligh
Recycled Water Policy Position No. 4
Labor’s latest policy is to say ‘we don’t know what to think any more’…
Unable to make a decision herself, Ms Bligh announces Labor’s fourth policy position on recycled water: saying she will ask the Water Commission if its still necessary to put recycled water into drinking supplies: “I look forward to advising the House of that advice as soon as possible”. (State Parliament 25th November 2008)
