The further we go to the right the higher the demand for a single identity. That means increase in racism but also sexism. The "white male" is a long held symbol of wealth and so the Margarets of this world will soon fall on their own sword. May have briefly worked for Pauline Hanson, but recall how quickly Howard stole both her thunder and her platform? Then they even sent her to jail. Women should not expect a position of influence in far right politics.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182703408922632531.post-79108804828763157862012-04-15T09:56:47.532+10:002012-04-15T09:56:47.532+10:00Wonder how many liquor outlets Margaret has approv...Wonder how many liquor outlets Margaret has approved in her days in the Council. She helped cause the problem in making the city centre an alcoholic's haven. Still vote her back in again and she will keep on approving them, mostly in the poorer suburbs like Manoora, Manunda, Wesctourt. This woman has the social conscience of a weasel.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182703408922632531.post-41950626505212776502012-04-14T19:17:29.215+10:002012-04-14T19:17:29.215+10:00Well spoken, Margaret.

For the aboriginal alcoholic they dont want to go back to their dry communities and the people there sure as hell dont want them back. Dunno if the rate of alcoholism is dropping overall but there seem to be fewer homeless than there was in the 1990s.Curly Joenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182703408922632531.post-5433751716827801422012-04-14T09:57:15.937+10:002012-04-14T09:57:15.937+10:00"These people come to Cairns" - well, of..."These people come to Cairns" - well, of course, if they are alcoholics and their community is "dry", of course they are going to look for where there is a constant stream of alcohol, and boy oh boy, look at all the alcohol outlets in Cairns!
