ON THE NUMBER OF ASYLUM SEEKERS ARRIVING ON OUR SHORES VIA PLANES SUPPOSEDLY SKYROCKETING.

Yup, Albo is the new PM. They are soft on borders and have shown that time and time again.

Craig Mann-Jones

As usual, you are completely misinformed. This has been going on for years under the LNP.

Michael Cooper

I recall it was demonised boat refugees, those seeking asylum fleeing. Morrison always had the come by plane and buy your way in, economic refugeeism was a goldmine without ever looking how someone had a lazy half million to get through the back door.

Bonny Bauer

Looking at the author of the story, I suspect there’s an agenda there.

ON CALLS FROM SISTERS INSIDE FOR COUNCIL TO BLOCK PLANS FOR A NEW YOUTH JAIL IN THE FAR NORTH.

Plenty of evidence that this is a waste of $500m and there are better ways to reduce crime and increase community safety.

Bianca Barling-Seden

Not sure these people have any idea about what the community is wanting, sorry needing. It’s yet another group that have stuck their heads in the sand and sing along thinking everything is OK and it’s the poor criminals that are hard done by and we should be giving them everything.

Terry Robinson

Jail, isn’t the answer. It is so expensive, and doesn’t reform. These youths have been ignored for so long. What do their elders say, in the help they need? Money isn’t the answer unless the youths earn it themselves.

Julie Gilmore

Build a big one and give them bread and water only.

David Cook

ON RENTAL REFORMS THAT LIMIT INCREASES TO JUST ONCE A YEAR BEING RUSHED THROUGH STATE PARLIAMENT.

Will they limit any future interest rate rises to just once a year as well then?

Jaye Seal

Stopping all foreigners buying our real estate is the only possible solution.

Rick Kaiser

This will probably mean there will be less rentals as investors divest their properties, if the numbers don’t stack up.

Greg Eldridge

It’s all a bit late don’t you think as rents have peaked.

Matt Cunningham

ON CAIRNS HOSTING A LANDMARK INTERNATIONAL SUSTAINABILITY CONFERENCE.

I hope they study the sustainability of flying people around the country and world to lecture others about the environment and sustainability.

Crispin Till

I hope they study the sustainability of the public service.

Ian Wright

Clean up the mess on the corners of the Cairns CBD? Start there.
