On Smithfield bypass

-

Craig Crawford. How can you boast that you have fixed the Smithfield bypass with a plan that will take four years to implement? You’re taking the mickey out of Barron River, surely? Hurry up election. Steven Trinity Beach. We got it. Huge fuel prices, cost of living out of control, unaffordab­le housing, electricit­y prices going up, no jobs, no future education that only the wealthy can afford or overseas students with wealthy parents. But politician­s have given us a bypass. Rick, White Rock I find it amazing that it will take Craig Crawford four years to build a piece of road 3.8 km long. If he was serious about us it would take one year. This sounds like a shallow promise to me. It’s a joke. Nic, Brinsmead Craig Crawford. What an absolute legend. No-one has delivered more roads in a three year period since the Romans conquered Britain in 43AD. Caesar, Smithfield vast sums of our money on a worse solution. Higgs, Tolga Re: YAPS funding. No reply means no care for residents. All political superannua­tion parasites voted out next election. People power will determine our future. AT, Edge Hill Re: Council conflicts. If that’s what they’re fessing up to, how long is their don’t ask, don’t tell list? #icacnow4ql­d. Paul, CNS The Palaszczuk meeting had drama, presents, promises and empathy, but no leadership. Cash splashed from the north to the south. Why? They need votes. How will they pay? By demanding more money from a broke Federal Government. For responsibl­e economic management, Palaszczuk had nothing. Very scary times. Joanne, Mount Sheridan To Bob Manning at CRC. Re Yaps refuge. Bite the bullet and just put 1 per cent on the rates. Problem solved and credibilit­y restored. Allan, Holloways Beach Icarus Atherton, 12/7. Regardless of who is in power they are all point scoring. That is politics. I’ll take whatever improvemen­ts we get for the north regardless. Being one-eyed never works. Mr Campbell had a landslide victory into power and delivered nothing, so people change their vote regardless of party. Carolyn, Mt Sheridan Turkey is exiting the Paris climate accord as it won’t pass their parliament now that the expected US money isn’t coming. This proves it was only ever a wealth redistribu­tion scheme. Miss T, Tolga Wind generators? Nicoli Tesla had the answer 100 years ago ... solar steam generators. A plant in SA and in Portugal works 24/7. The KIS principle always works best. N Matchett, Parramatta Park
