“People should have choice,” she says. “If you want to eat bad foods, if you want to have fluoride, if you want to have, let’s say, vaccines, then you choose that. But there should be no coercion, bullying, bribery. It needs to be a choice.”

Ah, letting the anti-vax sentiment slip a little there..

Regardless of that, I don't understand how putting fluoride into drinking water is coercive, bullying or bribing behaviour. We are already treating drinking water with other chemicals like chlorine, should we stop that too so that Queenslanders have a choice and aren't bullied or coerced into drinking healthy water?

We should have untreated waste water delivered to our homes - it's your choice if you gonna clean it or drink the gunk as is!
