The comment by Heat in the Kitchen typifies what appears to be an inherent culture in our Council. It is that nastiness that most people want eradicated. If you speak out about Council, you get the legal letter. Litigation is expensive for those who do not have unlimited resources at their fingertips. Making an apology is not tantamount to "rolling over". it says more for the strength of character of the person apologising than it does for those using bully tactics in the first place.
How about an apology from heat in the kitchen to all the tents out there, cheap or otherwise. Many of these tents come from good homes and provide low cost accomodation for the less affuent in our society.

Dennis Quick might have been a "go-between", but you rolled over like a dead whale when "threatened" with legal action (admit it, there was no 'LEGAL ACTION", just threats to do so). You do know what real "legal action" looks like, don't you Michael?

And funny how you continue to ignore the squeals of laughter that greet you when walking around town.

Legal action didn't silence you Moore, you folded like a cheap tent.

Only 75 days left to the council elections!! Where is everyone? Why hasn't the campaign started?
Come on, come on. Candidates should be OUT THERE, door knocking, campaigning, putting their heads up, giving voters a chance to know what they are about.

Like other cities around the world, Cairns should develop its own policy of reducing carbon emissions in this city. As an international tourist city, visited by overseas tourists in their hundreds of thousands, we cannot ignore the issue of global warming.
Being "progressive" is NOT about approving hundreds of ugly, high rise towers of over-priced mousehole sized slums.
It means, in this age of Kyoto, being more environmentally responsible.

So Dennis Quick is leaving or has he been pushed?
I was in the unfortunate position of having to do some Council business with this little fellow some time back.I found him to be full of himself,no manners to speak of,and very rude.In fact He was so rude I had to hold myself back from sitting him on his tail.
He should never be allowed to be in a front office position dealing with people.

Hear hear Mike, well said. I know you have lots more up your sleeve to let the Cairns public know about the very dodgy exploits of Byrne. Looking forward to reading them. I notice this blog has now had over 35000 hits, and growing fast. Given most of the comments are very anti-Byrne, its not looking good for him if you take this as an indicator of Cairns' voting intentions. Yes, this blog is set up to be anti-Byrne, so it is a very biased poll, but how many readers are undecided when visiting this blog. If they weren't when they first visited you could say that after reading these stories they would certainly be persuaded more likely to NOT vote for Byrne. So with 35000 hits already, and still 2.5 months to the election, how much of the Cairns population will read this blog, and further be persuaded to get rid of this council. Given there are only 70000 odd voters in Cairns, its not looking good for Byrne. I believe we'll hear a lot more from Val Schier once this campaign starts to pump up, and will persuade a lot of the undecided who are yet to know a lot about her.
