From bats and crocs we are now back to refugee bashing, always a popular subject with talk-back audiences. Pearl chipped in as well. She has found another issue to bitch about; illegal camping on a beach in her neighbourhood. She is continuing her crusade against Julia Leu.Apparently it is all her fault. She won't take it up to Manning or James of course. They are blokes, after all. With Gillard and Bligh have gone, Julia is the only remaining female target for Pearl. Soon she will be no longer in the CRC, so let's hope she takes her bitching and moaning elsewhere. Please put the boot camp in Wangetti !!!

Hey? Remember Val Schier's plan, for the convention centre to be linked up to the performing arts theatre so that extra space could be provided if needed in the future? Hey? It was a visionary idea giving us the building and space for all sorts of conventions and international events. But what did you and Mackenzie and King all say to that? Hey, you deadshits.

I mean, just think about it. The media aren't asking where has it gone to. Fucken King and Manning aren't going to say anything. They are both bullshit artists who only got into their positions through bullying and abusing the former Mayor of Cairns and telling filthy lies about the Entertainment Precint. So where the fuck is this money?????? Is someone or some people hoping to fuck off in a couple of years time, and live the bloody good life, lots of ganga, booze, sex on tap and whatever else they want?

Bob-o can't put it where the Cairns Port offices are, he's trapped in his lies about the site where the Schier council had decided on, and he's now promoting a rehab of the Civic Theater that does bugger all to provide additional space to the Convention Centre.

However this was not confirmed in a follow up by the Transport Minister. In fact I have found no reference to it whatsoever following the furtive and secretive dispersement of OUR City Place funding by both the Mayor and the State Member. Frankly, it is all very disturbing. The funding was given after years of lobbying by the community in which King himself, even as a Johnny come lately, joined in as an exercise in promoting himself. <br />We did not give permission to the Mayor and the State Member to disperse of this hard won funding however they wanted. We did not give the Mayor permission to sit back like an enfeebled baby having his lollies taken off him, only to see him involved in a further embarrassing spectacle of dithering from pillar to post wondering where in hell he would be getting funding for revamping the CBD in time for the G20 Finance Ministers Summit.<br />We expect when hard won funding is given to our region, that the Mayor has the ability and competence to hold on to it. <br />As for exactly where that $32 million went, that is what the local media machine should be asking, even if it is to get a detailed response from the Minister for Transport. In conclusion, I have my own suspicions about where that huge sum of money disappeared to.Alison Allowaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182703408922632531.post-86843024261891886872013-07-08T16:02:52.927+10:002013-07-08T16:02:52.927+10:00Tom Pyne, Kev Byrne and Val Schier all looked at r...Tom Pyne, Kev Byrne and Val Schier all looked at renovating the old Civic Theatre and decided it wasn't possible.

He must have a good giggle with Manning how they managed to manipulate the electorate, as soon as the microphone is switched off. So much easier to rant about crocs and bats instead. He is now reduced to 4 days a week, apparently because his employer wants him to use up outstanding leave entitlements.Maybe he could use the extra day to research some important local issues instead of just being a LNP mouthpiece and focusing on the irrelevant comments of some know-all taxi drivers, the deluded rants of climate change denier "the Black Adder" and Pearl's vomit inducing, sycophantic blabbering. What really baffles me is that people in Cairns are not up in arms about this blatant deceit.They should be throwing rocks at the mongrel dogs who pissed all over them and who couldn't care less about the welfare of this city.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182703408922632531.post-71269789591470398912013-07-08T10:35:53.396+10:002013-07-08T10:35:53.396+10:00Allison and Emma,

The break (pending council approval/support) will be: $3M for Lake St/City Place, $3M for JCU bus stop, $32M to significantly improve flood immunity on two bridges on the Bruce Highway between Cairns and Ingham."<br /><br />Why the hell he would want to divert $32M in state funds to a federally funded road outside his electorate is another of those awkward questions that King needs to answer...if only someone in the media would ask.Second Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182703408922632531.post-62338285009426577922013-07-08T09:47:26.472+10:002013-07-08T09:47:26.472+10:00This whole scenario is like a bad Homicide TV scri...This whole scenario is like a bad Homicide TV script!!!

Ambitious back benchers have done similar things in the past in order to ingratiate themselves with a Premier and gain a Ministerial portfolio. Was this the motivation? Perhaps a Knighthood for Manning? Whatever, their actions are unprecedented here in the Far North and will never be forgotten.
