On other matters
Beth, Kanimbla. It’s not Ayers Rock, it’s Uluru, a sacred site and “thousands” of visitors will go elsewhere. There’s plenty of country to see and climb if you want. Rita, Atherton
Is the council here going to give aged pensioners free public transport at off peak times like Brisbane? Or r we as usual ignored? Suzy, Cairns
It’s quite apparent now that there are many people who fail to understand that without water humans can’t survive. Dams have always been built prior to
their actual need, simply put, govts anticipate future needs that will allow people to have water to drink and to help agriculture, MSF sugar promised to help underwrite the cost of Nullinga Dam and the govt’s pathetic inaction proves they still don’t support the regions. Robert, Earlville
It’s official. The Tablelands is a no-go zone for development (CP, 10/08). The ludicrous suggestion by TMR that KURworld should fully fund another Kuranda Range road is the proof. Neither ALP or LNP can fix this mess: we need a separate state. Joanne, Manunda
The Adelaide stuntman deserves everything he gets from Bali’s law courts. Kylie, Woree
Chris Calcino makes a good point (CP, 10/08) - freezing southerners would have been jealous watching COAG attendees walking around in short sleeves. But those same people are petrified of 1.5 degrees of “global warming”. Logic isn’t their strength. Mark, Cairns North
Daza (CP, 09/08). The vast majority of tourists go to Uluru to see it; not to climb it (and thereby disrespect it), or to urinate on it. Karl, Herberton
“Trump cops a roast” (CP, 10/08), from the clown-car Democrats who want to spend a quadrillion dollars tearing down America’s buildings to rebuild them “greener”. That’s 256 times the USA’s GDP. Only the media and the dullest Americans pay any attention to the dysfunctional innumerate weirdos competing to run against President Trump in 2020. Tradie, Colorado
More deaths by trees falling on cars travelling on Australian roads. Isn’t it time state governments etc cut trees back, as they once were, to stop them falling on cars and roads? If not will the Greens take responsibility for these unnecessary deaths. David, Holloways Beach
