Once again a person with some suitable background, Dr. Shaun Peck, has pointed out the waste of money that the present sewage proposal will be.

We need a new solution that will eliminate the drug residues and heavy metals before it will be any improvement on what is now happening to our effluent. I believe that Andrew Weaver won in the recent election partly because, although the Greens favour treatment, they acknowledge that the proposed system is not a solution, whereas the New Democratic Party wants it now simply for the employment opportunities.

Surely science should be the decider for this question. If not, then the taxpayers will make their decisions.
