ON THE HISTORIC PASSING OF PATH TO TREATY LEGISLATION IN PARLIAMENT IN CAIRNS ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT

Why? What happened in the past can’t be undone. We have all learnt from previous decisions both good and bad.

Lance Robb

You mean the past Empire and governments and politicians. Gilly Gilly

The fact there was every effort exercised to delete the cultures that were on this continent from the start, called “The White Australia” policy, another form of cancel culture of the past. It’s well overdue to repair the damage that has resulted. There’s no going back but I shall hope we end up in some form of unity.

Christopher O’Reilly

Are they looking into them slaughtering each other for thousands of years? Or just big bad whitey with deep pockets?

Jesse Hodges

Another money grab and a division of the Australian people John Harris

Why would they exploit the truth? It’s not in their best interest. Moreover, the balls in their court so to speak, so they can make their own narrative so to as to not destroy their title/s. Just something to think about.

Nikita Lynton

You white fellas have stolen our land and brought all your white man diseases here. We did deadly with this country before you all came here Tatts Wright

ON A HIGH-LEVEL DELEGATION SEEKING THE RETURN OF CATHAY PACIFIC FLIGHTS TO CAIRNS

I hope this happens! Was so easy to go “home” via Cathay when it last serviced Cairns

Olga Gordon

That would be the best news ever. Fly straight to one of the biggest hubs in the world on FF points. It was my go to.

Lawrence Mason

Great for freight – more options direct into Cairns. Robin Piccolo

We used to have two airlines on the Hong Kong - Cairns route with Hong Kong Airlines the other. Sad that there isn’t one on that route now the pandemic’s over.

Jeff Winger

Cathay won’t be back. Mick Lennon

ON THE DISCUSSION OF ‘OFFENSIVE’ CREEK NAMES AT A COUNCIL MEETING

Feel sorry for us Creek, Apologise Creek, Hard done by creek, Poor buggers. Must be a terrible life to always try and find reasons to divide the country.

Geordie Bye

Remember Coon Cheese? Named after the inventor of the maturation process of cheese. William Coon and his name deleted from history.
