Officials at a heated town meeting in Menindee were made to drink a mug of town water in front of the crowd after they told the community that it met the national Australian drinking water standards.
The public meeting of the pop-up emergency operation centre was held at Menindee civic hall on Tuesday to address community concerns relating to the cleanliness and security of water for the far western New South Wales town after the deaths of millions of fish in the Darling-Baaka River.
