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.

FISHING CLOSURES WILL DEVASTATE FNQ ECONOMY

Have no doubts about this. The proposed marine park will force the closure of the fishing industry in Far North Queensland. This is going to devstate our local economy. It is not just the fisherman themselves that lose jobs here. It is the support services and companies that rely on them too. It will further reduce the diversity of the economy we have. Tourism is a vital part of our economy, but so is the fishing industry. We can not afford to lose this industry or we will forfeit 1000's of jobs that we can not afford to lose.
It is time to take action and stand up against this stupidity.
