Road and rail links to WA were washed out by rain that the experts told us we'd never see again due to "climate change." What a shame we let maritime and wharf unions destroy coastal shipping. Mariner, Portsmith
It's interesting that John Hopkins University, leaders in covid research, have analysed lockdowns and reported that they didn't work and were actually damaging. It's not surprising, but it is interesting to see it being admitted by a major institution. Chloe, Kuranda
ScoMo, six countries have ended all covid restrictions and at least two others never had them. How about you tell the WEF to bugger off and you start working for Aussies for a change. Higgs, Tolga
The Qld govt has committed crimes against the Mission Beach Tavern (CP, 03/02). None of their police operations against the Tavern were legal under our federal Constitution. The Qld govt must be brought to account. To do that we must eject the corrupt establishment from Canberra in the May election. #AnyoneButThem. Spiro, Mareeba
For Mareeba people, even the Kuranda route isn't "direct", Pam (3/2). The Quaid road would add 40 km, nearly doubling the trip. Mr Obvious, Earlville
Why is Joe Biden obsessed with the Russia-Ukraine border but doesn't give a stuff about the US-Mexico border? Republican, Cairns
The whole RBA board needs sacking (CP, 03/02). Why bother paying them huge fees when all they do is follow orders from the US Reserve? Trained chimps could do that for peanuts. Dazza, Westcourt
So we're to finally get another 150 cops (CP, 3/2). Does that keep up with population growth with so many southerners fleeing capital city dystopias? How many will be deployed to destroy businesses which rightfully allow people to make their own health decisions? One Tooth Wally, Cairns North
Catherine (CP, 3/2). In historic and archeological terms, the only thing "unprecedented" in weather in the modern era is how mild it has been. Go back even 100 years and we had worse weather but not much infrastructure, fewer witnesses and almost no cameras. W Burke, Mareeba
Sensible tour operators wishing to re-establish their industry (CP, 3/2) would encourage all their friends and contacts to put the ALP, LNP and Greens last at the May election. Until the sovereign risk created by those three parties is eliminated the risk of a repeat of the covid overreaction is just too high. Malcolm, Freshwater
On the Ranger mine (CP, 03/02), there was an environmentalists' wildlife calendar a few years ago that featured water birds taking flight from a beautiful wetlands. The photo was of the Ranger mine tailings dam. Electrical Engineer, Brinsmead
It's a sad day when the President of Russia (3/2) is more trustworthy and believable than the President of the USA. Texas Jack, Cairns
Everyone knows "green jobs" (03/02) are temporary jobs, right? And that wind towers produce no electricity when there is no wind, right? Batman, Ravenshoe
Citizen groups wouldn't need to do the police's work (3/2) if the police weren't so busy being directed by the Qld Labor government to persecute law-abiding citizens over their private vaccination status at taverns (3/2). Senior police bear some blame for failing to direct resources to the highest priorities. Shorty, Edge Hill
Re 'Rollover closes highway'. Craig Crawford. The Qld govt has been looking at Kuranda range alternatives for decades. Most of that time Labor has been in power. Why not just admit you won't be doing anything at all? Jay, Manunda
Paul Williams, CP 3/2, you don't need to be a professor to know ScoMo has done his dash and that Albo is no better. Most Aussies are sick of the Canberra clown show and know it's time to flush the lot of them. The "two party" system has failed because they've merged into one party. Chris, Brinsmead
Given that Qld Labor has crushed tourism and hospitality, where does the money come from to plonk "manufacturing hubs" (CP, 3/2) on productive rural land? Does anyone in Qld Labor have any capacity for rational analysis at all? Stevo, Redlynch
The violent, overcrowded and oppressive conditions in aboriginal communities are directly the fault of government policy. Aboriginals should be the richest minority in the world, but that wouldn't suit the grifters and rank opportunists embedded in governments. Monica, Gordonvale
