On other matters
You know why video stores and fax machines have disappeared? Because better technology came along. The same is happening to coal as an energy source. Get out of the way of progress and stop clinging to the past. Earl, Cairns The power is cut for four hours so the consequence is of course that we have no landline. Congratulations NBN. Fran, Woree Where are the Greens and Labor Party and Human Rights and The Project pretenders outcry while about 200 Christians have been slaughtered in Nigeria in the last week? I wonder why. Disgusting. Shane, Kanimbla It’s NOT the speed limit causing accidents! It’s the overgrown plants and ridiculous monstrosities on roadways blocking drivers’ view. Eddy Dark, Cairns Thanks for the memories poster of Johnathan Thurston in the Weekend Post. Janelle, Woree If captain Dan McCarthy was fair dinkum about support for recreational fishermen, Katter boy mob would support massive filtered rock pools as like in Darwin, NT, so as to keep humans safe from Mother Nature predators. Recreational fishing platforms could easily be attached, to create the world’s ultimate experience for recreational fishos. Rex, Edmonton How much money were Fearne, Gliddon, McCarron, Weeks, on if we can afford all these good players to our club now? Taipans Member, Cairns Turnbull’s thought-bubble policy flipflops made Labor look good. But now Shorten is doing it too (CP 30/6). Is Newspoll populism the main leadership criterion these days? There’s no path to national prosperity there. Woz, Parramatta Park Cairns Port dredging. Just what is going on? Ports North is a Qld Govt statutory Corporation and they requested the Qld Govt to “stop work” on the dredging. Please explain. Don, Earlville The political Left are terrified of Putin’s Russia, as evidenced by the Mueller probe. But when Trump moves to normalise relations with Russia (WP, 30/6) the Left freaks out that he’s abandoning NATO. Will anything at all make them happy? Higgs, Tolga Looks like I’ll be telling my grandkids to become a politician as it will be the only job in Australia that don’t get penalty rates cut. They seem to cut everyone’s money except their own. Jack, Cairns
