On other matters

Re: leadership challenge. If only all our elected representatives got back to basics and ran the country for the benefit of the people who put them there instead of finding new ways to legally rort the system, we might find satisfaction in our Prime Minister. Right now they are so out of touch they may as well be living on Mars. Beth, Kanimbla To the motorbike rider who lost control and slammed into our fence in Dungarvan Drive and rode off. Do the honest thing and own up and apologise. Better still, pay to repair our fence. Disappointed, Brinsmead No, a petting zoo at AFL footy field has never been suggested. A sanctuary to provide respect for our precious native wildlife has been. As joeys leave their mothers’ pouches and able to feed on native grasses, they easily can be relocated to lands far away from vicious humans. I have no doubt that innocent people will be severely injured, attempting to trap a buck male in a bag.

Bazza, Mareeba Greenpeace assumes we all litter (CP, 23/8), which is offensive. Those who do litter don’t care. We who don’t litter don’t want Greenpeace micromanaging our lives. Miss T, Tolga Where to next for soccer in the Far North. End of the road for Cairns FC and state league for us. We pay good money to Football Queensland and FFA, what are we going to get in return?
