The Queensland Premier Anna Bligh has sunk her teeth into an issue which Peter Beattie and other previous Premiers have found too hard to handle.Queensland children have the worst teeth in Australia which is the direct result of the failure to fluoridate the state's water supplies in accordance with internationally-accepted standards.
Townsville water supplies have been fluoridated for over 40 years with a massive improvement in the teeth of local children which follows on to their adult life.
All the doomsday scaremongers can scream and yell all they like, Premier Bligh is 100% right on the fluoridation issue. This is a major, long-overdue health initiative with the State Government bringing Queensland firmly into the 21st century.
Now for daylight saving for the southeast corner!
