The empty shops on Sheridan street would make fantastic gay nightclubs, bars, etc and would give the city a whole gay district, which would generate billions of dollars for cairns, not just by providing a much needed service for the local gay community (especially younger members such as myself and my friends) but by attracting large numbers of tourists also.<br />COME ON CAIRNS, cash in on the pink dollar!!!adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07964655864018995539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878592054777492431.post-85406616106444809202010-11-09T08:11:00.714+10:002010-11-09T08:11:00.714+10:00I have just been doing a course on the history of ...I have just been doing a course on the history of some of our so-called "political parties".<br />Interesting to note that the so-called Labor Party was founded on pro-American principles brought to Australia by King O'Malley.<br />These guys can't spell either!<br />Interesting to also note that the British Labor Party (can't spell either), was founded in 1893, by the merger of those two dastardly institutions, "The Fabian Society" and the Trade Union movement(why am I not suprised), and backed by the major financiers of the City of London (The Crown).<br />Labor Party & Liberal Party frontbenchers are all signing on to the new paradigm: "Sustainable Population Australia", which was set up by Prince Philip after calling for population growth to be declared an "environmental threat" under Federal Law.<br />Genocide-promoter, and past president of the Fabians, Kelvin Thomson, who is now in charge of the "depopulation" of Australia, has openly called for the culling of Australians.<br />Make no mistake, Genocide is the official, announced policy of the present government, as it was also the official policy of others such as John Howard, Paul Keating, Bob Hawke, Kevin Rudd, etc, etc.<br />The "National Population Council", was set up by Bob Hawke, along with many other Commissions, for the establishment of the mindset, "population stabilisation", which in the real world means, killing of millions of Australians.<br />Now, let's start on the "Liberal" Party.......well, maybe next issue.<br />It's time we got rid of "Party" politics in Australia, which goes nowhere, does nothing, and always gives us a ship with two captains going in opposing directions.<br />How the hell can that be good for ANY country?:Kevin-John: Morgan.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14602202611535793841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878592054777492431.post-74857558507258559592010-10-17T12:56:07.569+10:002010-10-17T12:56:07.569+10:00The fact that "No Blake Lover" also post...The fact that "No Blake Lover" also posts as "Schapelle Corby is Innocent" undermines his credibility even further.Let's just call him Rick.<br /><br />On the one hand Rick thinks it is ok for a self-confessed drug dealer to steal jobs from the locals in Bali, but on the other hand backpackers in Cairns should not be allowed to work ?<br /><br />And what's with all the gay fantasies, Rick ?

It is my OPINION that your h...@ No Blake whatever,<br /><br />It is my OPINION that your have your FACTS wrong. Even though the facts stare you in the face, you are still in denial. <br /><br />"do they spend more in Cairns than they earn? The fact that they spend more in OZ is a no-brainer."<br /><br />As I pointed out before ; other backpackers work in other parts of Australia and then spend their money in Cairns. Many backpackers do not work at all in Cairns and still spend their money. I think that is a no-brainer. Try to be a little less parochial and look at the big picture.<br /><br />"As I pointed out, no holiday pay, no sick pay, no superannuation."<br /><br />Plenty of Aussies do no get sick or holiday pay, it is called casual employment. <br /><br />Backpackers ARE entitled to superannuation. If employers are not paying the right money, then you should direct your anger at them, not at backpackers. Maybe you should join a union or something.<br /><br />Anyway, your OPINION matters not a lot, because nothing is going to change, no matter how much you would like it to, just so your son can fulfill his ambition ( and he really has set his goals very high) to work as a barman in some poxy nightclub.<br /><br />No one cares, except you. And all your bragging is really pathetic. That's my opinion anyway.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14217897938804789667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878592054777492431.post-48823911447167289262010-10-10T20:33:49.324+10:002010-10-10T20:33:49.324+10:00http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spCq1dAiZ6ghttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spCq1dAiZ6gWarren Entschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00462482057601124018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878592054777492431.post-6141894721618097622010-10-10T16:16:34.903+10:002010-10-10T16:16:34.903+10:00@ Yassu the Failure

My business is going fine, has no debt and I have never been on the dole in my life. I don't need a great deal of work to get by and saved my money during the good times. I am happy to leave many of the jobs to others who are so desperate that they will work for nothing.I will hire more people when things pick up. I might even employ some backpackers. <br /><br />Anyway, back to the topic at hand, which has been thoroughly researched. The results are readily available. If you had done some research yourself before starting your rant based on nothing but assumptions and prejudices, you would not have made such a fool of yourself.<br /><br />A fairly recent report, published by the Department of Immigration, is available here :<br /><br />http://www.immi.gov.au/media/publications/research/_pdf/whm-report.pdf<br /><br />It is 116 pages, so it might strain your brain a bit. WHM stands for Working Holiday Maker.<br /><br />Some snippets from the report, which show what an uninformed fool you are :<br /><br />"Each WHM arrival was estimated to create a total of 0.212 full-time equivalent (FTE) jobs, through their spending. "<br /><br />" Forty per cent of all the jobs done were in regional areas, the largest share being farm hands and fruit pickers. This does suggest that WHMs are providing avery useful additional labour force to a specific region/occupation/industry that is struggling to find good workers."<br /><br />"Do WHMs Displace Local Workers?<br />The big picture answer to this question is that WHMs create more jobs than they take, since they spend more money in Australia than they earn."<br /><br />"Almost all the employers in the survey said they tried to recruit local people to do the same sorts of jobs as they hired WHMs for: indeed, they thought local and WHM labour were close substitutes, but half stated that it was difficult to get local workers to do these jobs."<br /><br />"The WHM scheme enables employers to get better quality workers for the pay and conditions they are prepared to offer. In many ways,<br />WHMs play a similar role in the Australian labour market to full-time students who also take paid work. These people are relatively capable, motivated, self-disciplined and reliable. Because the job is an adjunct to their main interest (study, travel), they are willing to accept low wages in unskilled jobs that do not provide skill development, any career prospects or job security."<br /><br />I am looking forward to see some facts and figures that support your ,so far unsubstantiated ,claims about the impact working backpackers have on the Cairns economy. Without it, your original posting is indeed a "parochial, narrow-minded slogan". That is just an observation, not an insult.<br /><br />Try and tone down the personal abuse. It adds nothing to the debate and is rather pathetic. I also note that you have not even tried to address any of the vary valid points I have brought up, but direct most of your attention to a bunch of non-existing kids and a business you know nothing about. But I suppose that is easier then actually giving the matter some thought.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14217897938804789667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878592054777492431.post-86917136325051366472010-10-09T22:55:18.094+10:002010-10-09T22:55:18.094+10:00oh "mg" u have to be the most boring y...oh "mg" u have to be the most boring yet predicable Blake suck up there ever was.... yawnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn <br /><br />as if ANYONE has sympathy for that self-indulgent rat ... <br /><br />are you going to china with him next week????????? we all know who you are!!! ahhahahhahahahhaJannie Ferguson, Canopy's Edge, Smithfieldnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878592054777492431.post-22622683565270096272010-10-09T22:46:35.683+10:002010-10-09T22:46:35.683+10:00Oh Bronwyn seems you are a little touchy about Bla...Oh Bronwyn seems you are a little touchy about Blake.<br /><br />It also seems that my main point has been missed again by you.<br /><br />I have had several attempts at trying to explain to you bloggers that an example must be set as cairns school children are able to read this dribble and vitriol and abuse here yet and its not stopped by MM at all.<br /><br />In fact its encouraged by his mates who post in to antagonise.<br /><br />Seems school children are not allowed to bully online yet these 'free speech' bullies are as MM does nothing to enforce his Point 9 of blog rules<br /><br />Oh and Bronwyn write back when you have more to contribute as I am no groupie but I am sure interested in the legal precedence being set here.<br /><br />MM is publishing plaintiff's letters on the site and this is another way he is leaving himself open to further implications legallyMGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09213979892591643390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878592054777492431.post-52784361600256439312010-10-09T22:20:49.069+10:002010-10-09T22:20:49.069+10:00@ the failure
This was the first insult, and it c...@ the failure<br /><br />This was the first insult, and it came from you, failure ..<br /><br />"Maybe you should go overseas and have a look how Aussie backpackers are enjoying themselves in other countries, before coming with parochial, narrow-minded slogans."<br /><br />You then try to pass your ignorance onto me, and now, having lost the argument, you try insulting my kids.<br /><br />My kids are proud of me, yours can hardly be proud of you when you're incapable of running a business as easy to make money at as the building trade.<br /><br />I know many builders, including my son-in-law, who still make good money, and haven't had to put people off, it's called making a good name for yourself .... quality workmen always find work, slackers like yourself suffer when the work drops off, as you've already found out.<br /><br />Try apologising to them, you could even try meaning it, you owe them that much for being a bad role model for them.<br /><br />Let's hope the work picks up soon for you, it's not fair that your kids should suffer because of your incompetence. <br /><br />Luckily for them they live in Australia where their father can pick up dole money until he finds work.<br /><br />Go careful with the beer, don't drink too much, we don't want you going home and beating the wife because you've been put in your place my someone successful.No Blake lovernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878592054777492431.post-43477357767122898242010-10-09T18:50:45.224+10:002010-10-09T18:50:45.224+10:00"I see my posts are being rejected by MM, so ..."I see my posts are being rejected by MM, so it seems other's opinions score more points than mine. "you're not very good at this blogging either."<br /><br />And you are ? Did you click the right button or are you just paranoid ?<br /><br />"Why don't you show ME some statistics and research to prove YOUR assumptions?"<br /><br />You and your alter ego, "No backpacker jobs" started this topic without providing any evidence whatsoever. Put your money where your big mouth is or shut up.<br /><br />"Are you saying that every backpacker on a working visa leaves Cairns with less money than they arrived with"<br /><br />No I never did and it is irrelevant. Plenty of backpackers work in other places in Australia and come and spend their money in Cairns. And locals who work here go overseas and spend their money there. So what's the difference ? I thought a REAL businessman could work that one out.<br /><br />If your picky, lazy, incompetent son is anything like you he shouldn't be allowed to work in any establishment that deals with the public. But he can just sit back and wait for to you to die and inherit your successful business. Maybe that's the problem ?<br /><br />You should really go and see someone about your anger issues.I hope you don't work in tourism...fancy having to deal with all these horrible backpackers.<br /><br />And thanks,I am enjoying my beer. I think I'll have another one. Just love those backpackers.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14217897938804789667noreply@blogger.com
