One year after the Crime and Misconduct Commission advised Merilyn Haines that Queensland Health would respond in "due course" in regard to evidence that Queensland Health had falsified tooth decay data used by Premier Bligh to justify forced fluoridation, Queensland Health still has not explained its actions. Merilyn Haines, the spokesperson for Queenslanders For Safe Water, Air and Food Inc is standing as an independent candidate against Premier Anna Bligh in South Brisbane.

Three Queensland Ministers including Premier Anna Bligh, who, in 2008, rushed through legislation to enable the addition of fluoride and other toxic substances to Queensland's drinking water against well-founded scientifically based objections, will be forced to properly investigate those objections and should they refuse to repeal the legislation, justify that decision before the Supreme Court.

On 28 December Queensland's Courier Mail called for early state elections alleging that Anna Bligh's back down before "uninformed agitators" in shelving its plans to introduce water recycling has shown her government to be "timid" and "tired". However, the evidence shows that Bligh's backflip was soundly based. So, what is the real reason for the Courier Mail's own backflip on the question of early elections?

It now seems these sacrifices were in vain, because in Queensland our present government is a dictatorship. One person, Anna Bligh, forcibly medicates us through our water supply with fluoride chemicals and we shall have water that has been sourced from sewerage whether we like it or not.
