Please check The Cairns Post website for our privacy policy at www.cairnspost.com.au There are a couple of intersecti­ons around Cairns that still work quite well. I just hope council and Main Roads don’t get to hear about them. AussieBria­n, Woree The casino crossing should never have been put there in the first place. Do away with it altogether. Luke, Bungalow

On other matters

Re: Council fines CBD touts (CP, 10/1). Maybe the major shopping centres need to take note of this as most of us are fed up with being accosted in their centres as well. Paul, Woopen Creek

Re: rego for cycles: Here we go again. It is unworkable. How would you deal with all of the tourists and children under 18? Also an instant market for stolen rego plates. A car towing a caravan is more of

a hindrance than 20 cyclists on a highway. You are permitted to cross double lines to pass a cyclist but not a car. Greg, Kanimbla

Public roads are dedicated to get from point A to point B not for cyclists to strive for their personal best. The outfits they wear would indicate otherwise. Hooning I would say. Ken, Whitfield

As we are now into 2018 and suffering the heat and a lack of entertainm­ent

events to get dressed up for, is it possible to say when the new performing arts centre is going to open? Passing by the site recently little progress seems to have been made and completion by the proposed mid-2018 is not a reality. Fred, Clifton Beach

What good is a rain radar when it is always down when it rains? Andrew, Cairns

Are you serious Lindsay Ross (CP, 11/1)? Noel Pearson has been silent with regards

to youth crime in his own back yard. We need him to stand up to these people but he is too busy ignoring the problem. Now, JT is leadership material. Anon, Cairns

Re: Pedof Babinda (CP, 11/1). There is nothing stopping men from getting out there to fundraise for their cause. Maybe you could find an ambassador to lead the charge and we women can support it like we do everything else. Carolyn, Mt Sheridan

Please stop saying Trump beat ISIS. America and its allies only bombed them from the air, it was the foot soldiers of Iraq, Syria and Iran or a coalition of Middle East militia who did the heavy lifting. Merlin, Bentley Park

Were anti-Trump author Michael Wolff to write a similar book here about one of our leaders he’d be in a heap of trouble under our libel laws. Woz, Parramatta Park

It seems Victorian batsmen are only entitled to four chances to make runs in the Australian cricket team. If you are from NSW, QLD, WA you have between 12 and 20 chances. Maxwell and Handscomb will now join Hodge as never to be seen again. David, Woree

Darwin clothes shops should lock doors and buzz customers in (CP, 11/1)? No. Lock the teen crime gangs up instead. It’s why we have laws and police. Higgs, Tolga

 ??  ?? REMOVAL: Council is looking to improve the safety of the Abbott St crossing near the casino but one reader believes it should not be there at all.
