The information stand at Grand Central Thursday and Saturday attracted plenty of positive responses. The volunteers were kept very busy with a large number of undecided with a great many questions. We also gave out more than 300 NEWater taste samples.

Senator Andrew Bartlett, who spent two hours at the centre on a visit from Brisbane, spoke to locals and media about his belief that water recycling should be part of the water solution for all of South East Queensland.

Supporter's Book

A. Marks, Toowoomba: I'm a 17 year old student, so I'm not quite old enough to vote. However, the recycled water project has really inspired me.

I believe that the 'no' campaign has based their arguments on emotions and fears rather than facts. Even though I won't be able to vote, I hope that I am able to influence others to consider supporting this safe, sustainable water supply.
