On climate change
Trevor of Park Ridge (CP, 26/12) misses the two big differences between me and the climate frightbats. 1. I don’t have my hand in your pocket. 2. I’m fighting against the global-socialist threat to Australian sovereignty. Peter Campion, Tolga Anyone who tries to blame man-made global warming for causing volcanic activity is really drawing an extremely long bow. Their credibility goes right down the gurgler in my book. Robbo, Gordonvale economy so they can blame Trump. The Deep State working against the people, as usual. Miss T, Tolga It seems incredible that in our massively regulated building sector that Sydney’s brand-new Opal Tower should crack and move 2mm (CP, 26/12). This points to failure by everyone involved. Heads should roll. Woz, Parramatta Park To the bloke and his partner who returned our 11-year-old daughter’s purse after she dropped it at Mt Sheridan Plaza on Monday, a very big thank you and hope you had a very Merry Christmas. May your New Year be just as full of joy as we were when you both showed us what Christmas is really about. Sorry we didn’t get your names as we were so busy thanking you. You really did make our Christmas shopping day. Merlin, Bentley Park Yes Barry agree, on tourism hub (CP, 22/12) the naysayers and mayor would be all for it if it wasn’t a Labor instigated project. A great boost for Cairns and create hundreds of quality permanent jobs on an under-utilised site. Given the Reef Casino has been good for locals and Aussie tourists (but) it needs an upgrade to attract and cater for international visitors. Local, Cairns 150 million extra to be tacked on to our power bills for the Green religion’s Lakeland battery (CP, 26/12) but no mention of how many homes it can power or for how long. They don’t want you to know in case you can do maths. Pterodactyl Trev, Cairns Cr Brett Moller (CP, 26/12) misses a critical point in the “renewables” debate. Humanity has never “transitioned” to a new energy source. We still use all the old ones as well. We began with using sticks for fuel and we still use sticks for fuel. Mic, Cairns 40 jihadis have returned to Australia (CP, 26/12). Have they been jailed permanently? Or are they being deported? Either way, they’ve proven unfit to be loose on our streets. Scotty, Gordonvale It’s going to be a wet start to the New Year and good umbrella weather in the heavy rain, but I like the rain. Nelly, Woree Progressive of Australia (CP, 26/12), why are you proud to be a socialist when socialism always fails? If you want socialism, move to Venezuela. It used to be very similar to Australia.
