Do you want fluoride in your water?

 It's a question local governments across the state are asking, so far nine Queensland councils have voted to remove fluoride, and now the Gold Coast, Redland, Whitsundays and Moreton Bay Regional Councils are now considering their options.

Dr Michael Foley is a dentist and the past president of the Australian Dental Association Qld, he says fluoridated water is a vital public health initiative.

Merilyn Haines is from Queenslanders for Safe Water, she says fluoride is a poison and should be taken out of the Queensland water supply.
