On other matters

Re: Captain Cook Highway upgrades. How about we take the money for the useless bypass, add in any new promises and start truly upgrading by building overpass number one at the airport access. That would actually achieve something. Next step, a grade separation at Holloways Beach then each roundabout progressively. It’s called planning. Greg, Kanimbla There is major competition between Bali and Far North Queensland. It would be great if we could have a fare battle with flights to Cairns at least the same or cheaper than going overseas. Especially on our own airline Jetstar. Melissa, Palm Cove Why are Cairns cafes and restaurants still charging a public holiday surcharge when the staff have lost their penalty rates? Sounds like greed to me. Miss Equalitee, Manunda Re: Atticus (CP, 8/5), Trumpey has his best polling since the 2016 election. Mainstream media is controlled by agendas and Hollywood, not by the people who vote. Realnews, Earlville The winner of MKR wants to learn some manners and take his hat off while eating at the table. Spridge, Yorkeys Knob To shoppers at Coles Mareeba. Please return your trolleys to the trolley bays or Coles might bring back the dollar surcharge to use them. S, Mareeba Obviously local Labor members Michael Healy and Cynthia Lui do not welcome any comments from persons of political neutrality. Democratic? They block people such as myself who comment without malice of any kind on their Facebook page but who produce facts (re: tree clearing). What a sad day when local members are not willing to take other points of view into consideration. I had high hopes for these two which has now been dulled. B. Prescott, Atherton
