ABOUT THIS BLOG

With a long family history that goes back many generations in this area it pains me to see the impact that government neglect is having on our area. The two major parties are simply not up to the job anymore. I can no longer sit back and watch this happen and have decided to run for the state seat of Cairns.

It is time we had a voice in parliament again, not puppets of faceless party machines from Canberra. By posting media releases on this blog the people of Cairns can determine if we have policies and concepts that they agree with.

I ask you to join me in ensuring that Cairns and Far North Queensland gets a fair go.

PEOPLE POWER REQUIRED TO PRESSURE INSURANCE COMPANIES

The Queensland Party Candidate for Cairns D.J.HUNT has called for people power to force insurance companies to look after clients struggling with the flood crisis.

Mr Hunt said "This is a disaster on a scale not seen before and it is time for the community to band together. Insurance companies have built their empires and made millions of dollars in profits over the years and it is time to give some of that back at such a vulnerable time.”

Mr Hunt’s statements came after it has been revealed that some insurance companies are not covering those decimated by the recent Queensland floods while other companies are in the same circumstances.

“It is time we work together and embarrass these companies into doing the right thing. Companies like Suncorp should be supported if they are doing the right thing. Those that aren’t covering Queenslanders in the same circumstance where companies like Suncorp are should be named and shamed. If they won’t come to the party then we should show our disdain and every single Queenslander should transfer their coverage to the companies that are doing the right thing and boycott those that won’t. ” Mr Hunt said.

Mr Hunt stated “If the insurance companies want to trot out the old protecting their shareholders line then let them come out and say it so Queenslanders can decide whether they want to support millionaire investors or battlers struggling with the loss of everything they own.”
