No Poo Water for Politicians

Thanks to a Friend who gave this to me, I missed this and i reckon it wasn't too hard to do, apparently it was a tiny piece on page 75 of the weekend paper.

It was titled "Perks for pollies"

Amid all the talk of tightening and tough times ahead, state politicians granted themselves a package of extra perks.

Meal budgets and clothing allowances were raised, ministers' partners were given membership of the Quantas Club's Chairmans Lounge and ministers were allocated $30 a month in bottled water for their chauffeur-driven limousines.

Some of the states mayors didn't miss out either - the maximum remuneration levels were raised by 5 per cent just nine months after most were awarded huge increases with the creation of new super councils.


I would have to say that if they want us to drink fluoridated, recycled sewage they should at least put out a pretence of doing it as well, right ?

There is no freedom of choice under "Hitler" Bligh and her predecessor who have managed, with the assistance of the perrenial team of yes men including Lucas, Mickell and Fraser, to remove our right to decide what we can and can't put into our bodies.
It is also interesting to note that they have a provision in the Water Fluoridation Act that stops us haveing the right to sue if we do have an adverse reaction due to Fluoride.
If it's so safe, . . . why would they need to do that ?

We vote because we have no choice, we amalgamate because we have no choice, we drink shit because we have no choice, we drink poison chemicals because we have no choice, Bligh say we have to, so just shut up , drink your poison and die before you cost this government money.
