Funny how Mackenzie and King both roared away about "transparency" when Schier was talking about the Entertainment Precinct, (slyly and maliciously overlooking the fact that building such a complex was on her election platform and voters agreed by electing her).Yet the Aquis Resort development, about a hundred times bigger than the Entertainment Precinct was just suddenly thrown at the Cairns community without any prior community consultation or vote and Mackenzie is talking it up big time.Observernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182703408922632531.post-22595689368944655732013-11-13T08:19:29.111+10:002013-11-13T08:19:29.111+10:00So Archiebutterfly was right, well well.So Archiebutterfly was right, well well.Ivornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182703408922632531.post-86206423137755959602013-11-13T08:18:35.762+10:002013-11-13T08:18:35.762+10:00Dunno how true this is, but someone on the week-en...Dunno how true this is, but someone on the week-end told me the Pappalardos sold the land for $22 million and they aren't to receive the money until the Government approves the development.
