Unnerving them.......we need to unseat the b*stards.
Give Cairns back to the residents and let them have a say in how our city is to evolve.

Hee Hee. This has really touched a nerve in the inner domain. Mike, keep up the good work . . . it seems to be unnerving them.

Re K Byrne winning next election: According to KB on the John MacKenzie talk back show on Wednesday, he told a Cow Bay resident that after he wins the council election he will install a diesel generator at Cow Bay. Cocky or what?

What exactly is the Mayor doing trawling through China for anyway?

To Fact checker at the top of these comments, you wanted names that KB has threatened to sue. I can name more than one, How about Tony Hillier, Brian Law. Whether or not he did so with council funds is beside the point. The fact that he has done so , and continues to do so whenever someone manages to expose him publicly as a pathetic mayor, is the real issue. Coem march it will be goodbye KB, goodbye Unity team, goodbye the Quicks etc etc. Cairns can finally have a future that is worth looking forward to.

Dear t h, I do not believe myself to be an idiot. I believe the details below, taken directly from an email to me, show that I was correct in my above post and it may be yourself who is proven to be a idiot? There is a K.James who is a secretary to KB. This is no doubt purely an interesting coincidence.

K James
Personal Assistant to the Mayor
Cairns City Council

Dennis Quick is the secretary, you idiot.

You see a K and/or a B and you immediately relate it to the Mayor.

Val Schier would totally stop all development in Cairns - destroying jobs, homes and lifestyles.

Kevin Byrne has been a great asset to this town.

Heavens, why then if they arent the Councils lawyers, did KB want Mike to apologise to the councillors as well as to him?

Yes the council should not pay for legal representation at all if the Mayor is only doing this for himself, and if Mike has to pay compensation to KB, and the council has paid for it then the council should keep the money Mike has paid.

Sometimes when you are too slow composing your comment, it wont go through the first time, you need to redo the scrambled letters again and wait till your comment is noted.
I am sure this has happened to a few people, me included!
Good luck with your next comment!

The defamation laws in this country work are susceptible to a fairly straightforward class analysis, in my opinion.

They pose no threat at all to powerful media interests such as the Murdoch Empire, who have pockets deep enough to withstand any legal loss.

They do, however, pose a major threat to small, independent media.

Only the rich (or those backed up by wealthy institutions) can afford to bring defamation cases.

The poor and politically weak are defamed and have little opportunity for redress.

The current laws speak volumes about gross disparities in political and economic power in this country - and the conformism of the major political parties which have legislated to suit a minority of Australians while disadvantaging the majority.

You claim the mayor 'is infamous for suing people with the weight of Council's lawyers'

Name one.

Also advise why you think that the lawyers that wrote to you on the mayor's behalf are also "the council's lawyers". They aren't.
