That comment is an accurate reflection on the voter of this area. Entsch can make all the promises and talk all the shit he wants and it will impress people enough to vote for him.

Entsch is just huffing and puffing and farting away, lots of noise but no action. Unhappily Observer you are dead right. Cancer is on a sharp increase and now affecting younger and younger people. With the Abbott and Newman Governments following the neo-liberal ideology of small government, they won't fund any new health ventures even in the face of rising cancer rates. Labor will be left to do the right thing for the people.NYMnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182703408922632531.post-41329211296552934572014-06-09T17:37:43.705+10:002014-06-09T17:37:43.705+10:00I was under the impression that the Woodward donat...I was under the impression that the Woodward donation of land was so they could build a private wellness centre on the Reservoir Road site....my memory may be faulty but I sem to remember attempts by the donor to get approval for development of the spring site over the years and not for welness centre....I wonder who will be ableto afford to go there if it is built..beware of health money again being siphoned off by the rich for their sole benefitAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182703408922632531.post-73713100126857760922014-06-07T07:58:58.957+10:002014-06-07T07:58:58.957+10:00Off the subject please.I have just returned to liv...Off the subject please.I have just returned to live in Cairns after being away for 40 years and I heard your local radio shock jock saying that one of the reasons for the croc management was so that people could swim in the Baron River AGAIN. Someone needs to tell this man that having fished the river in the 60's and 70's we would never contemplate swimming there because of the crocs. How would some politician telling you it was now safe change the isolation of this river that encourages crocs to live there.Aron Bainbridgenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182703408922632531.post-63243791670614413772014-06-06T10:28:12.752+10:002014-06-06T10:28:12.752+10:00Agreed Bob R.

Entsch and the LNP didn't give a shit that people up here died waiting to have radiotherapy in Townsville. It wasn't until Jim Turnour got elected when we had a Labor Government that we got the funding. With cancer on the increase and expected to target younger and younger people we need all the cancer facilities we can get but it wont happen under an LNP government.

You may need to do some more research. It is an isolated, but quite scenic patch of inner city (rare) rainforest, wetlands. Normally a useless severely constrained piece of land that no one could ever think was suitable for any form of development... so the donation is not that charitable.. particularly without a whole lot of Government subsidy... so do some more homework Hillbilly watcher! By the way, I am no Entch fan ! <br /><br />By all means.. put this development on land without these very severe land constraints.. It is a much needed facility.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
