I, too, am a conservative voter who arrived in this city just three years ago and found myself in the midst of what can only be described as a "war" being undertaken against the first elected woman Mayor of this city by local media representatives. The objective was patently obvious. These bullying thugs were using their position of influence to try and force the Mayor into resigning. When that didn't work, these thugs then used the Entertainment Precinct to incite and inflame the unwary members of the community. As if that wasn't enough they then deliberately and with calculation further polarised the community by pitting the issue of sports facilities versus arts facilities. The Cairns community are being shamelessly and ruthlessly manipulated by, I suspect a group of scurrilous individuals who have a vital pecuniary interest in certain waterfront land. I am deeply suspicious and will be watching very closely the results of this Council Election and its aftermath.Liznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182703408922632531.post-22411419866235690702012-01-22T20:34:13.963+10:002012-01-22T20:34:13.963+10:00Chris Forsberg, I don't know if you are correc...Chris Forsberg, I don't know if you are correct about Mr Hillbilly, the blogger of this site. However I am a conservative, Liberal Party, voter. I read this site and Vance's "Cush over Cairns" because I too,like Mr Hillbilly and Mr Terry Vance, am greatly concerned about the lack of journalistic standards and ethics in this city. To see unsophisticated people being manipulated and stoked up by media demagogues and deliberately polarised over something like the Entertainment Precinct is, in this modern age, unconscienable, reprehensible behaviour. I also am disgusted and revolted at the way the Mayor, Ms Schier is treated by Mackenzie and previously by Gavin King. Their behaviour again is not the sort of behaviour I want to be associated with. I like to think there are still some of us conservatives around who do have a sense of ethics and personal standards. Oh, and incidentally Mr Forsberg, I am not the only "tory" contributor to this blog.Neilnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182703408922632531.post-62813796788306944722012-01-14T16:57:05.471+10:002012-01-14T16:57:05.471+10:00"Rob Pyne - likely unopposed.
