ON FRUSTRATED FAR NORTH FLOOD VICTIMS CALLING OUT SURE INSURANCE OVER ISSUES WITH DELAYS, LOWBALL QUOTES, AND FUNDS FOR TEMPORARY ACCOMMODAT­ION

Over 100 days and still nothing being done, absolutely disgusting, we just want to be able to fix the damage caused and replace items damaged! Miquela Spence

If one returns your call.

Tina Ann Hyslop

Be careful, a lot of dodgy Southern insurance builders and contractor­s are getting around Cairns causing issues.

ON RATEPAYERS FOOTING THE BILL FOR A $19,000 COUNCIL INDUCTION CEREMONY AT CAIRNS PERFORMING ARTS CENTRE

At least she is being transparen­t, one of her points for the election. Let’s see how much more she will cost us. Candice Alanie Repen

The start of more debt ... make sure you all keep paying your rates and water bills

Katrina Harding

$450 for the robe? I’d like to know which local business, as that’s a bargain. A custom made curtain would cost you more. 450 onlookers sounds about right, half of it probably volunteers, friends and family of candidates. Amy Eden alone had 160 volunteers throughout the campaign.

Birgit Ariane Machnitzke

Still cheaper than an Olympics nobody wants.

Ross Robinson

And the money spent, stays in Cairns.

ON THE HALVING OF THE FREQUENCY OF LETTER DELIVERY AT AUSTRALIA POST

Once again society is forgetting those in our community that use these services and rely on them. Not everyone has email.

Nicky Noo

Things change. And they are changed by market forces. Which means we change them by our choices. I admit I would be lucky to write more than one letter a year. I understand others are different but to be honest letters used to take longer to be delivered in the past anyway.

Gayle Hannah

This has been happening for ages … it’s not news

Claire Wheeler

I hope the price of a stamps halves.

Shelli Hargrave

I just recently received Jury Service and it was via ‘snail mail’ so looks like the government is still using the system.

TURNED A BLIND EYE TO YOUR DOG’S POO

I love dogs and we have always had dogs and cats in our house, but I will not have another one because of this stupid rule. It’s wokeness gone mad. John Castleden

Never lived anywhere where that was a priority for anyone.

David Barnes

It’s just laziness when people don’t clean up after their dogs it takes a couple of seconds to bend over and pick it up.
