Australia - To fluoridate or not to fluoridate

To fluoridate or not to fluoridate
By Anne Matthews-Frederick - posted Thursday, 23 October 2008
Decades after the rest of Australian capital cities, Brisbane is to add fluoride to the city’s fluoride-free public water supply. Prior to 2007, only local government which controlled each local area water supply could make this decision after direct consultation with its community. A fluoridated water community could co-exist beside a non fluoridated community.

During compulsory amalgamation of the regional councils during 2007, the state government transferred control of water to the state. One of the reasons for this is seen in the immediate decision to fluoridate the state’s water supply. It will also make it easy to transfer or sell the people’s water supply in the future.

Mandatory fluoridation has been supported by political parties in an ad hoc fashion until the majority of state politicians united in 2008 to pass the bill to allow fluoride to be added to water that was once described as one of the “safest” and cheapest tap waters in the world.............

A long but very good article
