Given the price of fuel and the impending shortage, why is the federal government preventing fuel tankers from docking and unloading? Mariner, Portsmith
So, it's 10 degrees cooler in the shade of a tree, eh? (14/3) I.e., CO2 doesn't work as alarmists claim or it would be the same temperature under a tree as it is in full sun. Terrence, Morroobool
The new airport arrivals hall sculptures on the baggage conveyors look like marine life vomiting up plastic pollution. Juss Sayen, Cairns
There's another reason for building dams, too, Merlin (15/03). We're reaching the end of the modern warm period. The future is colder and therefore drier. What rain falls must be captured and stored, because solar panels can't run a desalination plant. Higgs, Tolga
That's a lovely idea by Renew Cairns (p1,3, 15/3) but there's no point until the Council reverses all the damage it's done to the CBD. It must bring back the traffic lanes, the parking places, and the toilets and remove the obstructions and the hiding places for criminals. Our original city planners knew what worked and that hasn't changed. Cecily, Ravenshoe
TV news blames Ukraine for supply chain disruptions and labour shortages here. How odd. An 8yo war can do that but current flooding and vax mandates causing mass sackings doesn't. Keith, Mooroobool
If we're going to change our national Constitution (CP, 15/03), it should be with a clause to automatically jail any politician who breaches it, and any Governor-General who fails to defend it. That means all the covid-era political pretenders. Terri, Clifton Beach
Covid alarmists can take their "new variant" (CP, 15/03) and snort it up their nose for all I care. I will NOT be yielding to their scaremongering and tyranny ever again - and nor will the ALP-LNP duopoly ever get my vote again. Done N. Dusted, Cairns
"Gentrification" is the process whereby poor people are forced out of dodgy near-CBD suburbs by rising prices and the rich people who bought the properties move in and replace them. The trouble is, the rich people are flooding in from Disaster Dan's Viktoriastan and they'll bring their terrible voting habits with them. Cynic, Cairns
No, the Ukraine conflict, which has been raging since 2014, did not "unleash" fuel supply chain woes (CP, 15/3). Joe Biden did that by shutting down American domestic oil supplies by closing pipelines and cancelling oil leases on federal lands. Everyone knows that fact - even Democrats. Republican, Cairns
How much shopping can be safely carried on an electric scooter? Syd, Brinsmead
Subsidy-harvester Elon Musk has challenged ex-KGB agent Vladimir Putin to single combat with the stakes being Ukraine. I'd laugh if Putin kicked Musk out of the ring and forced him to buy all of Ukraine and hand it over. MW, Redlynch
Harvey, (15/3) why would any intelligent billionaire or fuel producer give flood relief to people who knowingly choose to live on a floodplain? Isn't that just rewarding stupidity? One Tooth Wally, Cairns North
Remember back on March 3, 2020, when the Australian Financial Review ran a story that 100,000 Australians would die from Covid-19? And yet fewer people died from Covid-19 than normally die from influenza. We didn't have a pandemic, we had a panicdemic and our politicians who should know better were sucked right in. Chris, Cairns
Spot on, Gerry Hilderson - all vehicles on the shared road infrastructure should be registered (CP, 15/3). Not only to help out with a fee for a service but for insurance and traffic ticketing as well. Presently if you're a pedestrian flattened by a cyclist or scooterist you may not have access to any compensation for your injuries. Jack, Cairns
Exactly, Icarus, (Texts, 15/03), cars are a very deadly weapon. Which makes me wonder why people can be terrified of the sight of a toy gun like a gel blaster but then happily skip across six lanes of moving traffic. I guess it's all in the programming. Trent, Atherton
