The question both ask is governments should show some vision and planning. Answer is they won’t. All in their comfort zone and protecting their jobs. Don, Earlville Time for the LNP to ditch Warren Entsch from the party. Crossed the line mate. Tom, Caravonica Queensland’s population to pass 5 million (CP, 23/3) but still the Greens block dams. You’d think food and water scarcity is their aim. Scotty, Gordonvale I wonder how many times do we have to read about another arrest where the perpetrator has broken bail conditions and re-offended? Maybe the judiciary needs to get its act together or get a new job. Kevin, Cairns Re: Gav (CP, 23/3) explains how excessive union demands create casualisation. “More rights at work” kills off permanent jobs. But Gav still hasn’t told us why the public sector needs unions if unionspawned ALP politicians are “honest”. Joanne (CP, 23/3) gives an example of excessive public sector wages. To rein in public debt we need to de-unionise the public sector. Mic, Cairns Really ... 3D crossings in Cairns. Many motorists in this city are already seeing pink elephants. Icarus, Atherton Malcolm Turnbull says tax cuts lead to higher wages and cites US. But US companies spent tax savings on mainly share buybacks and some one-off bonuses. Trickle down economics is a myth. Didn’t work in US, won’t work here either. Terry, Kanimbla Shame, shame, shame. Friend of ours proudly volunteered to be a chauffeur for the upcoming Commonwealth Games in Brisbane. She recently received her uniforms, shock horror, “Made in Bangladesh”... this is disgusting. Surely something should be done about this. Lucia, Cairns G Lee (CP, 23/3). Cyclists do get bailed up for no helmets but that depends on QPS patrols or campaigns. Most of these riders are from countries where they don’t wear helmets, so are likely to be unaware of local rules. Jimmy, Smithfield. If Trump’s administration were a business and it was losing that many staff, it would suggest there was something chronically wrong with the leadership. Atticus, Cairns A few things to get off my chest. When the traffic light turns green that’s when you go. If turning right, don’t hog the lefthand side. People are being paid by the hour. Consider those who are not and move quicker. Aahhh... that feels better. SB, Woree
