They also said because it's draught was 8.1m.<br /><br />MS Legend of the Seas has a draught just slightly under at 8.07 and 2076 passengers and can come in 5 th Dec 2015. Vole dam has fewer passengers but draught same as Sun Princess and can come in 25th October.<br />MS Amerserdam same draught as Sun Princess will come into port next February.<br /><br />Carnival Spirit chooses Yorkeys Knob 10 th September even though draught is well under at 7.7m<br />Pacific Pearl chooses Yorkeys Knob 11 th September with draught 8.2. Tighter fit but doable as under 8.3m limit<br />Pacific Dawn even tighter will choose Yorkeys with draught 8.218<br />Radiance of the Seas. Officially too big for Cairns draught 8.5<br />Carnival Legend chooses Yorkeys with 2124 passengers and easy fit for Cairns with draught 7.8m<br /><br />So if we dredged Sun Princess would still choose Yorkeys because like others can fit now. Only one ship now to year end clearly cannot fit, Radiance of the Seas and two ?. So this dredging is one big con. Someone is out to make some major money from the taxpayers.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182703408922632531.post-2380758798541146312015-10-09T13:04:07.292+10:002015-10-09T13:04:07.292+10:00

Other boats same or similar can and do.<br /><br />There is something going on because it is not going to make much difference economically. No evidence of corruption that I know of but would have to question why they want to risk World Heritage Status by demanding priority port.If we get priority port status then we probably lose World Heritage with no guarantee dredging will occur. It only allows for more dredging requests, it does not actually approve it. Very dangerous game they are playing, the tourism industry may collapse if that petition gets up.

Hopefully they are giving him his marching orders. The airport is a pathetic joke, everything about it is shit. But don't worry as the tight Scotsman isn't shy to spend on himself. Loves to strut around in his white Merc while wearing his lairy coloured striped shirts. No CEO worth a pinch of piss stays at the same place for 5 years, that tells us something.

That was an outright brazen lie of Mackenzies which was then parroted over and over by King and the other slimey lying mongrels in the town. Anna Bligh and Desley Boyle stated clearly that the proceeds of the sale of the airport would go towards upgrading the existing hospital plus buying land for a new hospital. So here Mackenzie is again telling lies about Labor I mean Christ or bloody mighty. We were never given any money to fucken dredge the fucken inlet.

Wonder if that is the same Sandy McDonald who treated King a while ago when he had a medical emergency. Ungrateful grub.Judging by King's comments, he still doesn't get it why he was booted out after one term.<br /><br />As for Bob, I seem to remember him being on TalkBack day after day trying to destroy the CEP project and blabbering on how that land was absolutely vital for future port expansion. Here we are years after and what happened to the port expansion ? And no CEP either, plus millions lost in funding.<br /><br />And Mckenzie in true style is now distorting history even further by blaming the ALP for losing funding set aside for the dredging. How shameless can you get ?<br /><br />Anyway both Bob and Gav conveniently blamed "the unions" for the hospital problems.

Both major parties have played politics with appointments to these boards which is why the Hospital Boards were abolished by the Beattie Government.
