Norman Miller, independent candidate for the Cairns Regional Council for Division 4 said that there were accidents waiting to happen in Cairns because of road safety issues.

“Council needs to take action on accidents waiting to happen” said Mr Miller. Residents in Div 4 have expressed fears that sometimes they risk their lives backing out onto the street from their own homes. Traffic calming measures are required urgently in areas of Kanimbla for example to slow down drivers who are speeding.”

As the genuine long term resident of the Division 2 electorate, I offer you an understanding of, and a passion for all of Caloundra.

I have no particular agenda motivating me, no ‘silent’ developer support, just a commitment to treat all issues on their merits and represent the community honestly, fairly and consistently.

Dr John Kingston, candidate for the Fraser Coast Council, invites Federal Environment Minister Peter Garrett to come and check out the Taveston dam site in his tinny.  

Dear Mr. Garrett,

RE:  TRAVESTON CROSSING DAM

I was delighted to read in the Maryborough Chronicle ( 7/12/07 ) that you “will consider all comments when deciding whether or not to approve the proposal”, and that “you will consider any relevant issues raised in the Senate inquiry report and during the public comment period for the draft environment impact statement.”, although I am a little puzzled by the word “draft”.
