This medium has been wonderful for all those people who have felt disenfranshised and unempowered by a regime that bullies, ignores and ill- treats its constituents. <BR/>Cairns Blog has allowed us to get the "other side of the story" out there that the Cairns Post, Cairns based TV and radio stations either ignored or gave lip service to.<BR/><BR/>Thanks CairnsBlog! Their poor coverage of Val's win, says it all really and it must have been a real slap in the face for the Cairns Post especially when The <BR/>Australian came out with " Voters signalled a desire for greater controls on development in Queensland's local government elections, with candidates identified as being close to developers being defeated in high growth coastal areas."<BR/><BR/>Of course, the Cairns Post would never in a million years have admitted this, as they would never bite the hand that feeds them, and there is the crux of the matter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
