ON CAIRNS’ RENTAL PRICES.

If all three governments didn’t keep making everything expensive and devaluing our money then rents wouldn’t go up as much. Direct your anger (preferably the French way) there.

Jesse Hodges

I’ve had enough with high rent. Had enough of no employment. If I live on the streets, let it be. I’ll be free. The government doesn’t care.

ON ALIENS BEING BLAMED FOR THE BIZARRE MUTILATION OF 20 COWS ON A PROPERTY WEST OF MACKAY.

Literally been happening for countless decades/centuries.

Jarod E Bamford

So they are not far off coming down to talk to us. Still a bit shy.

Mick Byrnes

Even aliens like a good BBQ.

ON QUEENSLAND’S CHIEF HEALTH OFFICER RAISING THE ALARM AT THE SOARING COST OF PRIVATE HEALTH INSURANCE.

Federal Government could restore the rebate for private health insurance and increase Medicare schedule rates to make it worthwhile. Aidan Bickhoff

He winces because he doesn’t live in regional Queensland where the only way to get timely treatment is through the private health system.

Cherie Spannenburg

Costs me $674 a month to have top hospital and extras for a family …. insane.

Rebecca Mills

And then when you use it you get smashed with the gap. You wonder whether it was worth it. I don’t want to wait six months for a hip replacement and die of pneumonia in the meantime.

PJ Keats

Get rid of it altogether. All the privatisation binge ever did was create a layer of bureaucracy we didn’t need. Australia should fully fund public health for everyone. David Barnes

ON THE SILKWOOD HOTEL BEING THE FOCUS OF A PARANORMAL INVESTIGATION.

I stayed there one night. That was enough for me. I slept with my eyes open all night.

Cecelia Carloff

Went to the Ravenshoe Hotel a few years ago. Supposed to be haunted by a female. The room is locked off to the public. After spending the night in that hotel I can say it is definitely haunted. Had some strange happenings which left us all with goosebumps. Yep. It is a place not on

my list again. Margaret Hickey

Great marketing ploy for the new owners … it’s regularly stayed at by backpackers and travellers but there is an odd sense there.

Heidi-Maree Blake

They should investigate the Einasleigh pub as well. Young girl lives upstairs. Can be cranky. Wears a blue dress, so I’ve been told.

Karen Maree

I think it’s more likely people have too much to drink and start hearing and seeing things.
