On other matters

So three councillors kept the secret of spending our rate payers’ funds from all and sundry (Elton John concert). We should all have had a say in this. Most local people will not be able to afford the price that will be asked and a lot will not want to go to it. Charlie, Bentley Park I have one question for the ministers on their Reef visit to check coral bleaching. How could, if possible, deleting Australia’s two per cent of global warming make a noticeable difference? Rob, Brinsmead Re: nightclubs and pubs. Banning convicted drug suppliers/traffickers from licensed pubs and clubs is a step in the right direction and will go a long way to improving the safety of patrons in party precincts. David the cabbie, Woree How hard is it to stop people going to emergency for minor ailments? There is a 24-hour medical centre and the hospital has an outpatient centre. Just get tough and do it. Carla, Cairns There are overseas visitors working in the fruit, taxi industry, trolley and the hospitality industries, plus other sectors of Australian work areas. The meat of the pie is that a lot of Aussies are too lazy to work in many particular jobs. Graeme, Woree Why consult artists about how to use the Courthouse Hotel? We already have an art gallery. Use the Courthouse Hotel as a new home for the Cairns Historical Society. They would certainly get more visitors through the door. Doug, Manoora Fake news from the ABC. Coal, not wind, caused NSW blackouts. Yeah, right. Mic, Cairns
