His is a Brisbane-centric government. Having such ineffective representatives in State parliament doesn't help the situation. The sooner Rob Pyne rolls King and becomes the member for Cairns, the better off local residents will be. As a local government councillor, Pyne eschews self-serving interests (apart from admirably advocating for the handicapped) in favour of properly representing his constituents — a point lost on many of today's so-called politicians, who see standing for government simply as a generously renumerated meal ticket.Tony Hillierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06811119917896735831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182703408922632531.post-83453475679876395882013-09-15T08:26:12.608+10:002013-09-15T08:26:12.608+10:00Campbell actually made a great point...he doesn...Campbell actually made a great point...he doesn't know what is happening in FNQ.....what a sad indictment of our local members who continually fail to advocate for the people they have been elected to representCairnsCynicnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182703408922632531.post-63993720574566326192013-09-14T21:20:00.244+10:002013-09-14T21:20:00.244+10:00I listened to the interview and, like Tony, cannot...I listened to the interview and, like Tony, cannot for the life of me understand why a Premier of Queensland would bother with the ex-Rugnut.

Rugnut has done this sort of thing before, phoned some unsuspecting flunky and got them to spew their guts out on air while an LNP person is listening and waiting and then through a staged so called hard hitting interview gotten the LNP fascist, in this case, Newman, to debunk all the complaints. Rugnut is in the LNPs pay pocket so his only role is to promote, excuse and cover up for the LNP. Take the whole episode with a big dose of salts mate and wise up to yourself.
