The more it grows, the less relevance and influence has the Compost. And the more it grows, the more exposes will be 'leaked' to it for it's ever growing audience and participators. As for Cueball and 4CA; I think his influence in this town is grossly over-rated. The few people I know who tune in to it, are like HBW contributors; they listen just to hear what unbelievable crap will spew forth next.

Rumours are flying thick and fast that "no can do" might be given the flick by his own party before Easter next year. I also see where Carl Judge, MP has prepared a whole series of commercials to be aired shortly, commenting on the lack of transparency and democracy in the Queensland Government. I look forward to seeing them. Judge seems a decent man, one capable of feeling sympathy for the families and communities affected by the sheer brutality of Newman and the LNP thugs. I can't see Carl Judge sitting back saying it is "for the good of Queensland" to Doctors and Nurses who are saying that children will die now because of the extreme cutbacks to the childrens hospitals in Brisbane. Judge has a social conscience unlike his former LNP colleagues.Observernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182703408922632531.post-3351131279190707962012-12-11T09:32:46.977+10:002012-12-11T09:32:46.977+10:00To Anonymous 19:36

A survey of HBW and Cairnsblog will give you plenty of examples.<br /><br />As for 4CA, just try to put a different view to their 'talkback' and see how you do.<br /><br />And finally, while not presuming to speak for everyone on this blog, we are not ex-Val supporters, we are still Val supporters.Vi L.

We are so poorly served in this town with a newspaper run by Rupert, as is our only other Queensland paper, that we need to hear the truth on the current state of our Council, State representatives as well as Federal. It has been left to organs such as HBW to give us a platform were we, the citizens of the Cairns community, can express our frustrations and sometimes anger at what we see as injustices in the local area.
