But cleaning is only the base. If just fogging is used, it means that the authorities are simply waiting for the next winter ignoring all the damage which will dengue bring to the victims and the economy.<BR/><BR/>ErichAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878592054777492431.post-45307042617270145662009-03-10T08:45:00.000+10:002009-03-10T08:45:00.000+10:00"Regarding the Cairns Post "finding no truth in th..."Regarding the Cairns Post "finding no truth in the allegations" - is yet again another silly and ill-founded comment.

I have no doubt he followed it up the morning of my report. I also talked with Council's senior Communications Manager at the same time.<BR/><BR/>Regarding the Cairns Post "finding no truth in the allegations" - is yet again another silly and ill-founded comment.
