LNP Member of parliament Andrew Powell has claimed Premier Anna Bligh has been forced to reform the water system that she bungled.
Member for Glass House Andrew Powell said when Campbell Newman entered the State Government scene he announced his four point plan to fix the water system.
"Initially these changes were rejected by Labor but Campbell Newman held them to account and forced a change," Mr Powell said in a statement.
Mr Powell has warned that the LNP will need to see all of the details of the plan before they can be sure the changes will help Queenslanders the way Campbell Newman proposed or whether the Government is simply playing politics again. Mr Powell said this is the first big win for Campbell Newman and the people of South East Queensland.
