On other matters

Boo hoo hoo. The Brisbane Broncos were flogged by 58 points to nought. Now you know what the Cowboys went through for 10 long years and had no respect from NRL or media or other teams. Shane, Kanimbla Spot on Rita. The swamps in US, Britain are being exposed. Let’s not forget Australia. Our government, denying the lying cheating banks, has revealed our ‘swamp’. Stevos. Manoora Some very unrealistic sentencing in the courts as reported in the Cairns Post (17/09). How much longer will these despicable criminal acts go virtually unpunished? How much worse is it going to get before it gets any better? The short answer is a lot. Clinton, Cairns I’m lost for words. “Road Warrior jailed over relative’s death” (CP, 17/09). He did not have a licence to drive in the first place and pleaded guilty to killing someone with dangerous driving, unlicensed, drunk, assault and wilful damage and he gets a release date of Nov 2020.

All to solve a non-existent climate emergency. At least other car makers, such as China’s, will benefit. Peter, Whitfield
