Qld: Labor would extend water rebates, says Beattie
HERVEY BAY, Qld, Aug 16 AAP - Queensland Premier Peter Beattie today announced a re-elected
Labor government would extend water rebates to the whole state.
Visiting Hervey Bay on the first full day of the state election campaign, Mr Beattie
said the government would spend $20 million over two years on extending the scheme.
Rebates will be available for water saving washing machines, shower heads, dual flush
toilets and pool covers.
The scheme is currently only available in south-east Queensland.
Mr Beattie today apologised to voters elsewhere after a letter promoting the new scheme
went out in the past week.
