Wind turbines eyesore

TOTALLY agree with Gerry Hilderson (CP, 13/07).

I have travelled to England every couple of years since 2003 and have seen more and more wind farms each time.

It has come to the point where the once beautiful countryside has been overtaken by wind turbines.

They are everywhere and such an eyesore for a very small percentage of England’s power supply.

Continually I ask council to convert the whole of soulless Cairns CBD to look like Collins Ave in Edge Hill.

Massive tree plantings. Less concrete. Less infrastructure.

What a wonderful drawcard for our population to enjoy?

Not to mention the seven-degree cooler outcomes that is the acceptable difference with majestic tree plantings.

BINGO … Full leases and lots of vibrant and cool people in the CBD.

Just as it once was, before being destroyed to the tune of so-called progress. Pippy Cannon, Machans Beach

Every voter’s information has been compromised as it would have to be disclosed for coding.

That means every Queensland voter now has their records stored in China’s care.

The Premier is trying to palm this off as a bureaucratic bungle.

There have been more than 50,000 additional public servants employed by the Queensland government since 2015.

What are all these people doing when such important matters as our electoral rolls are still outsourced to a foreign country for coding?

The Queensland public needs answers. Who is responsible for investigating this matter?

Queensland has had constant problems with IT programs, including police wages, health department wages, medical records, employing charlatans in high positions in the medical and health departments.

How can anyone have faith in election outcomes when open to foreign intervention?
