On other matters

I am over getting bad avocados from supermarkets. Either they are mishandled or quality control from suppliers is woeful. Both smarten up. Angry, Cairns City The LNP member for Boardwater needs to work harder for his electorate instead of getting on a radio station in Cairns and stirring the fry pan on things he doesn’t know about. Alan, Mt Sheridan No, Brett Olds, wallabies wound up in pig trap, because you and CRC allow your mates to destroy their pasture and fill their billabongs. They’re forced into suburbia, in search of nourishment. You and Craig Crawford advised ages ago to provide wallabies a sanctuary, so they live in peace and die from old age and their joeys can be be easily relocated, far away from vicious humans.

Rex, Edmonton Definitely plant more native trees Miss Equalitee, but if you don’t get rid of the myna birds, first those trees will only provide a new home for those native bird killers.

Short on ethics would want one fashioned on the People’s Republic of China and is on his and Labor/ union agenda.

Miss T, Tolga Wet season to get wetter (CP, 14/11). When will we take global warming seriously? El Nino likely to cause further coral bleaching. Time we thought about air travel and global tourism links to climate change. John Pratt, Mooroobool No surprise to see same serial text and letter writers taking advantage of a tragedy to score a political point. Just the opposite happens anyway and the vast majority see it for what it is. Democrat, Cairns Last year’s Bourke St terrorist has been found guilty of murdering six people and injuring 27 more (CP, 14/11). His next career will likely be as a prison preacher, spreading radicalisation. A very good example of why we should bring back the death penalty. Higgs, Tolga
