Re: Rivals outline remedies for housing
The Editor
The Cairns Post
None of the four mayoral candidates stated the obvious, which is that Councils are effectively state government departments and don’t have their hands on the policy levers that could fix the housing crisis, (Rivals outline remedies for housing, 21/11).
Sadly, none pointed out that the state and federal ALP-LNP twins created the crisis and that they won’t fix it and need to be turfed out to make room for someone who will fix it.
Even sadder, two of the candidates want to micromanage other people’s private property, apparently ignorant that the unobstructed right to private property is a foundational principle of democracy and implementing their ideas will make the housing crisis infinitely worse by driving investors out of the market entirely.
This could be one of those elections where voters look for a “none of the above” option.

Re: Major warning for solar batteries
The Editor
The Townsville Bulletin
The political left, which includes the ALP and LNP, endlessly assert that wind, solar, and batteries are ready to take over from hydrocarbon fuels, but self-evidently they are not, (Major warning for solar batteries, 21/11).
As a retired fire investigator, there’s no way I’d have a lithium-ion battery larger than that in a handheld device in or near my home – the potential for spontaneous combustion, inextinguishable fire, and heavy toxic smoke is far too high.
In fact, the entire green-left wind-solar-batteries mantra is a solution that doesn’t work for a problem that doesn’t exist.
When you understand that the laws of physics preclude any gas trapping heat, the wind-solar-batteries movement is obviously an enemy attack on our energy systems – and every politician who supports it is part of that attack.

And so called 'renewable energy' is a fraud perpetrated by all governments on their taxpayers.

Re: Another $50m to help reef
The Editor
The Courier Mail
The regressive left, which includes the ALP and LNP, have a habit of conflating the iconic Great Barrier Reef located many kilometres offshore with fringing reefs located on the coast, (Another $50m to help reef, 21/11).
An example of this is suggesting seagrass and mangroves live on the GBR when they are almost exclusively coastal species.
Coastal species are well adapted to silt run-off. The problem of farm run-off was solved decades ago. Neither reaches the GBR due to prevailing winds and currents, except very briefly and locally during the most extreme flooding.
At this point, channelling millions of taxpayers dollars to “the reef” looks like money laundering to me and we need to forensically audit the last decade of reef spending to determine where it went and whether it did anything beyond sending us closer to economic collapse.

Elections and electioneering should have one single yardstick... on what are you going to spend, or not spend, taxpayers money that is misappropriated!
No more open checkbooks for the rabid ideologues of the ALP-LNP-Green-Teals who are profligate and irresposible with other peoples money.
Leave the money with taxpayers who will spend it far more wisely than some clown in a political party controlled by overseas dictators.

And the minor conservative parties rallied behind him and actively supported him!
