Is it just me or is it totally and completely undemocratic to force the people of Queensland to drink sewerage by 2009? I mean to cancel a statewide referendum and give the people no choices whatsoever is completely unfair and unaustralian. What's your thoughts on this?
Cheers,
keenfisha,
My thoughts are
1: It has nothing to do with fishing
2: It's either this or ban beerThey reckon it takes four litres of water to make 1 litre of fourex. No contest if you ask me.

Save the referendum money and just do it.
Bring back Joh. He'd have some more dams built before now so there wouldn't be a crisis and we wouldn't have to drink poo water.
Where's all the anti dam people now?? Probably gone to the anti drinking poo water campaign now
I wonder what the introduction of this water will do to the fishing in the dams.Originally Posted by keenfisha

It is a no brainer really..Caboolture Council has been putting their treated waster water in the head waters of Somerset Dam for years. I have skiied past dead cows floating in Somerset...and what about the rainwater that runs over the hills with all the cow dung on them before it runs into the dams??
There was never going to be a referendum...it was a plebiscite..the differewnce is....whichever way the people vote in a referendum the Govt. has to abide by it...in a plebiscite the Govt is just getting a feeling how the people think...they aren ot bound either way in what their final decision will be from those results. Saves 10 mill. by not having it.
No one will be drinking sewage..it is well treated recycled water..I don't have a problem with it...my kidneys today..your coffee tomorrow.
Just you
I don't think it is unaustralian. This argument is normally thrown up when there are no real arguments. ranks up there with thin end of the wedge.
Happy to drink recycled water if there is no alternative, and if it isn't raining there isn't any alternative.
Agree it has nothing to do with fishing - except you will catch blind mullet at both Luggage Point and Wivnhoe dam when the recycling kicks in!!
Oh great! As if I dont drink enough piss as it is. Now its going to come out of the bloody tap. I can see it now! I,ll pore a glass of water and I,ll be thinking, how many of my neighbours helped to make it. crap idea I think.

My other concern is that the taste of XXXX beer will change forever. I hope this doesn't happen.
keenfisher,
Going by the taste of XXXX,I'd be surprised if they they werent adding sewer water to it already.
bring it on.
the government has acted as they have thought best, thats why we voted for them.
don't like it? vote different at next election.
cheers

have to agree with that.. truth is i'd rather drink recycled sewerage than xxxx anyway..has got to taste better..
just so every one can get it straight - the so called "poo water" you are opposed to will actually be treated, to a point that it will be healthier than the current water you drink out of a tap, and as first_mate put it, unless it rains and rains hard and long soon, then you are not going to have much of a choice
i really dont think FNQ should have this, no need for it up here, i wont be drinking it i tell ya now, should have a trail test, all GOV workers should be made to drink this for at least 5yrs and then see what the outcome would be
I live in NSW, but may be moving to QLD. Dont have a problem with drinking it. Better than no water & probably better than daming more rivers. Leigh
Simple to me.
Would you rather drink no beer and no water or have a very small percentage of recycled water added to the existing supplies?
