Who could ever forget the way that Kirsten Lesina the ALP Candidate for Cairns last election was publicly pilloried for making the exact same suggestion, by Gavin King, The Cairns Post and Mackenzie? As for the ColorRun and its scam over the people of Cairns, it is proof again of the lack of journalistic skills of the staff at The Cairns Post. If HBW could easily find the exercise was a scam, then so too could have journalists at The Cairns Post.
