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.

SUGARWORLD RE-DEVELOPMENT

Great news to hear the Sugarworld re-development is progressing well. This is a fantastic outcome. While out and about talking to kids and youth in the area recently about boredom related crime the one thing that THEY kept bringing up as an issue/venue that would have an impact was Sugarworld. I was surprised by the number and cross section of these kids that believed this would make a difference and something they would use.
The other pleasing aspect is the consultation undertaken and the fact that the managers/lessee have listened to what people want.
And to add to the benefits that the re-opening will have for locals, families and tourists a local contractor has been given the job. Win, win win.
What a good news story for our area and congratulations should go to all involved.
