The 18bn dollar in works claims that was never accurate also left us with little trust in leadership. Adani, again, falling over themselves supporting projects drowning in question marks.

Looks like he is settling into Kevin Browns high heel shoes and looking for easy profits and extra bonus money. Of course he has declined to make a statement, typical limp wristed creampuff, but a source told me that the COO said 'the additional revenue will help pay for cleaning up the rubbish and ciggy butts that the grub drivers leave around the taxi rank, as well as the cleaning and repair of piss stained floors in the drivers den'!

All the media people uncritically supported it with not one single "journalist" doing some proper investigating. All the local state and federal politicians supported it with not one person doing any due diligence. All of them did nothing but talk it up. Aquis Aware was the only group asking questions and were relentlessly attacked by local media and politicians with McKenzie, King and Trout leading the pack. They were made out to be anti-everything greenies. As it turned out, Aquis Aware asked all the right questions, while none of the people who were supposed to look after things like this, could see the scam for what it was. The fact that a former Bjelke Pedersen Minister was involved in this should have got alarm bells ringing all over the place. Shame on all of them.

A recent Cairns Post article from non other than Daniel Bateman who daily wrote reports of why and how amazing Aquis would be for Cairns was now reporting how Councillor Richie Bates, who also was in full support of it, is now calling for a fake inquiry as to how much the council spent on due diligence to bring Aquis to Cairns. Bates is always the first to support something where he thinks he can get his face in the papers and then always first to cry that he had nothing to do with it when it goes wrong.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182703408922632531.post-48615610047867370442017-08-10T13:40:16.331+10:002017-08-10T13:40:16.331+10:00Anonymous 7/8; so out of touch!

A caller yesterday pointed out that the Aquis scam has set back development in Cairns by many years. McKenzie agreed and added that the Aquis saga had badly undermined Cairns' reputation as a good place to invest. What he failed to mention that he was at the forefront of promoting this scam, day in day out, with the help of Trout, King, the local white shoe brigade and that washed-oup former Bjelke Pedersen minister, who claimed he was the one who had set up the original deal with the Fungs during a private lunch on someone's yacht.As soon as I found out that grub was involved, I knew the whole thing stank to high heaven. Who knows what sort of promises were made. Brown paper bags, anyone?<br /><br />Early in the piece, serious reservations were raised about the viability of this pie-in-the sky project. Even the likes of Kevin Byrne and Danny Betros expressed doubts. Everybody else was dismissed as anti-development, anti-everything greenies. Every day this went on for months on end with King and Trout making multiple appearances during talk-back most days talking up the scam. McKenzie even went on a junket to Macau with a breathless 'live" report on all those fantastic glitzy casinos and how it would transfer Cairns. He got totally sucked in as did most of his brain dead audience. <br /><br />Now he is acting as if it had nothing to do with him. He did the same after he whipped up hysterical opposition to a brand new hospital, something we have been paying for dearly ever since. Let's also not forget his on air love affair with a certain southern mayor, who is alleged to be a thieving whore monger. McKenzie has of course dropped him faster than a hot potatoe. Then there was the disgraceful anti Schier/ anti theatre campaign, which again cost the city millions of dollars. What a grub. Someone should hold him accountable for all his lies and mischief making.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182703408922632531.post-50113429921302681992017-07-31T11:47:21.907+10:002017-07-31T11:47:21.907+10:00When it comes to "value for money" no po...When it comes to "value for money" no politician is worth a droplet of panther piss. However Entsche is something else. The overweight bottom feeding whale couldn't work a decent day if his life depended on it. But I don't blame him, it is 'we' who allow this because it is the people of FNQ who vote him in. Same same when it comes to the abhorrent insurance, fuel and electricity prices. The only way to change it is to vote out people like Entsche, and people such as Trad and Anustascia and their lapdog Coitus Pitt. That's how you get politicians attention. But it simply won't happen because Cairns locals are too lazy and brain aged to understand this. Just look at the re-election of Sleepy Manning as an example of Cairns lack of mentality. Anyway, with the Aquis fantasy finally getting put to bed there will be less chance of infrastructure improvements in Cairns on a large scale. All attention will shift to Adani and the railway, lots will be spent on a relatively isolated area, however that's how the ball is rolled. As for Cairns pay parity what a joke.

But it is telling that Canavan admitted he was the Minister for Mining and not Minister for the North when he said he had enjoyed his 12 months as the representative of the mining sector. So we know the Northern Australian development is purely about mining, not about places like Cairns or agriculture or tourism. <br /><br />From a purely rational economic perspective, Cairns people should earn more for some jobs than those in cities especially. It is the only way to capture wealth created in the region.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
