On school dropouts

In response to Cairns Post dropout article (31/10). I was a dropout and worked hard for 10 long years after my first day of leaving school. With savings behind me I have completed a business degree, debtfree. No HECS for me. Beatrice, Edge Hill After moving to Brisbane from Cairns I smiled at the Cairns Post article on dropouts and how much more educated the big smoke is compared to Cairns. Come on down and you will soon see how efficient our Cairns businesses are and overall attitude towards competency in the workforce. James and Nancy, Milton, Brisbane American media is all over “RussiaTrump-election” while studiously ignoring “Russia-Clinton-Uranium”. The smell of fear from the Washington swamp gets stronger each day. Higgs, Tolga The comment from Andy, Herberton (31/10), how governments can make crime pay. They do every day. They rip us off with tens of thousands of public servants, huge power costs and the most expensive vehicle registrations. Sue, Edge Hill Can anyone tell me how I can find out when the wind turbine pieces are being moved on the highway? Myself and others would like to see them. John, Mt Sheridan This new Global Tourism Hub. How did they get their hands on the Cairns Yacht Club land? Charlie, Bentley Park Croc numbers need to be kept in control. Do we want to end up like Darwin? Not safe to enter the water anywhere. Definitely not the North Queensland way of life. Allan, Kanimbla Cairns Regional Council will close down city centre with proposed seven-day pay for parking. Suburban and monorail the future to moving people in and out of Cairns. Don, Earlville
