On by-election
Earl, (CP, 22/10). It’s the Elysium elitists of Wentworth that are out of touch. They prove the Green-left is the domain of rich, white, one-percenters. Their lifestyles remain untouched by the odious policies they advocate. Higgs, Tolga Listening to Senator Ian Macdonald on talkback today once again confirms how out of touch the LNP is with mainstream Australia. Latte-sipping people in leafy suburbs … Really? You’re heading for a flogging at the next election and you haven’t got a clue why. Maybe it’s not only fossil fuels we need to get rid off. Earl, Cairns Earl, (CP, 22/10), I wouldn’t call Wentworth election a majority indication of mainstream Australia. The Liberal candidate got more primary votes than the independent candidate. He would be going to Canberra if we were a true democracy because more people in the electorate voted for him than any other candidate. Bill, Mooroobool Scott Morrison said vote Liberal for stability in the by-election. But it was the instability of dumping Malcolm Turnbull for no reason that caused it. Three Liberal PMs in five years is definition of instability. M.G. B, Kanimbla Heights Entsch should join the Greens - it’s where you both belong. Mic, Cairns Reading the Bob Katter yarn (CP, 22/10) I realised we should call the crossbench the “x-bench” - so many unknown and unknowable quantities there. Woz, Parramatta Park adopted child I’m glad to be here and love my adopted family. Janese, Mt Sheridan Can the police make routine patrols of Munro Martin Parklands to stop ugly anti-social behaviour in a public place. It would never be tolerated at the Esplanade and lagoon. People will avoid it as they did before the park development if allowed to continue. Such a shame. Keith, Edge Hill To the Prime Minister. You get emotional apologising about past child abuse, what about the present day child abuse you know is happening now on Nauru? You are in a position to make a difference in their lives now. Jen, Cairns Iranians chant death to America but Obama did a nuclear deal with them and that was OK. Now the same people want Trump to cut ties with Saudi Arabia over Khashoggi’s death. Amazing dribble from leftists. Shane, Kanimbla The change propaganda from the socialist unions is misleading. Ask the socialist hierarchy what they earn in relation to their workers. David, Holloways Beach Taipans please wake up. You are a ship without a captain. Nate. Buy a dummy and use it. Just run and play hard and fair, no stupid lazy stuff and stop acting like a cry-baby. A team of players will always beat a team of individuals. Paul, Bayview Heights
