On FNQ unemployment
If Entsch/Turnbull were serious about people on the dole, they would make everyone have a blood test and if there is a positive test, that person gets a “cash card” instead of money. David, Woree The jobs, jobs, jobs, Liberal Government is setting up and expanding job network centres like there’s no tomorrow. These centres are a waste of time and taxpayers’ money as they achieve very little. We need the jobs before any of this will work. Ray, Edmonton debate carries on. Get with it CRC and see how Noosa has embraced scooters into solving their Hastings St diabolic parking woes. Get with it folks, solve the issue yourself and get a scooter. Greg, Manunda the middle-ground where it should be. Higgs, Tolga Why are our tax dollars funding the ABC? The leftist, socialist and downright treasonous thinking. The ABC should be de-funded and dismantled. We have had enough of their anti-Australian ideologies. The Black Adder, Mt Sheridan On crocs. The government allows shark culling on the reef but won’t allow croc culling in our rivers. Ever the conspiracy theorist, I think they want tourists out on the reef where they can fleece them and out of our rivers where it is free. Steve, Westcourt Curtis Pitt’s disappointment of a missed opportunity for Cairns due to the change in direction by Cairns Airport is a joke. Cairns lost out when Curtis became Treasurer and has since backed and financed south Queensland developments as per party guidelines and the Greens. Viv, Earlville Sean McGinn (letters 27/4), how do you know that Adani has to sell coal above $100 for the next 40 years as fact? Peter, Cairns Cairns Basketball Stadium. Congratulations on getting long overdue funding for a long overdue upgrade, but for the love of god, please allocate some money for improved seating. Narelle, Kamerunga Sydney has to turn away cruise ships because its docks are full but we can’t get them to the dock because Curtis Pitt can’t get the dredging done. This Labor government is costing us a fortune in lost income. Mic, Cairns Mayor Manning and his councillors would do well to heed advice from police regarding the preferred location of the new Gordonvale Police Station. Police don’t tell council where to put their buildings. Tim, Woree
