Giving COVID-19 vaccinations to athletes going to Tokyo Olympics before the real working people of Australia is a crime. Do they contribute to our lives? Not mine. Won’t be watching. There are more important things in life.

With winter beginning to bite on the Tablelands I’m starting to think maybe the sun does control the planet’s temperature after all.

Be aware. If you are expecting a parcel from overseas and receive an official looking text stating your parcel is waiting for you and will be delivered once a customs fee is paid, this is a hoax.

“Kidston ramps up” (CP 30/4). The only reason Kidston hasn’t been blocked by green activists is because it’s a remote mine site. Try to build a dam for pumped hydro to store intermittentlygenerated renewable electricity in any coastal mountain range and the prorenewables activist greenies will block

Regarding the “lifeline for exports” (CP 30/4). Yes, it’s a great idea to export from Cairns. But it should not be propped up with government assistance. If it is not viable by July then it needs to be canned. it. If they really wanted clean reliable affordable electricity they would lobby for American nuclear power stations.

Terry Goldsworthy paints a dire picture for law-abiding citizens who work hard for their possessions (CP 30/4). The stats are in and they don’t look good or bode well for a reduction in car theft and home break-ins. I’m guessing the only winners are locksmiths and home security providers. I hope our local members read the article and make some serious changes, the locals are fed up with your lack of action.
