...public favor. Morley, who founded the Citizens Against Drinking Sewage lobby group 10 months ago, says locals talk of little else: "People go to funerals and after a cup of tea what does the talk turn to? Water." Contrary to the popular image, that water wouldn't flow straight from their toilets to their taps. But though scientists insist that wastewater recycled under the Toowoomba scheme would be cleaner than the water Australians currently drink, suspicion remains. "Scientists are scientists," says Morley. "They believe in what they invent...

But I hail Mitchell for achieving something that was on many a serious director's mind 30 years ago: the coherent integration of explicit sex scenes into a naturalistic story film. Mitchell said that in press interviews here, he was asked over and over, "Why sex?" I wonder: What took so long? Most people laugh and cry; most people have sex, occasionally at the same time...
