On other matters

Face it. Signs are only for those capable of reading. Fed up with those who won’t exercise human and common courtesy. Rhonda Woods, Cairns Kids curfew, keep them off the streets at night. Make parents pay every single dollar for the damage their kids do (take it out of their Centrelink payments). Advertise their names in a name and shame page of a newspaper. It’s a joke what the taxpayer has to pay for these undisciplined people. Deb, Earlville What ever happened to the 12 men from the African country that ran away from the Commonwealth Games? Were they ever found? How many asylum seekers will run from the hospital or even be given help to escape by bleeding heart vigilantes? Pat, Woree Morrison government running self-promoting and virtually non-stop taxpayerfunded radio ads. Just a blatant dumbing down and waste of money. Disgusted, Cairns Re: conflicting councillors. Why are they acting like a political party? Surely they’re voted in on their individual merits to administrate the region. We have enough political popinjays to contend with. Get on with the job you were voted in for. Alison, Stratford Re: Renee Gorman outlining the new APS guidelines. These psychologists need more help than their patients. Joanne, Mt Sheridan Coal-fired generators in South Australia used to provide reliable electricity for $30 per megawatt-hour. Then government policy forced coal out and renewables in. Last week electricity in SA cost $14,500 per megawatt-hour for six hours. It was hot, still and cloudy. Demand was high but wind and solar produced little and could not be ramped up. Prices soared and consumers paid. But, hey, they voted for it. Mic, Cairns CPAC theatre is an ice chamber. It’s colder than a fridge. Please fix it. AJ, Holloways Beach
