As I drive around the city of Cairns, you can see the Qld Labor Government (with the help of the Krudd Labor Govt.) is ramping up all it's campaign promises for the next State election.
1. New Health Centre in progress - Sheridan Rd
2. New Dentistry School Building Starts - JCU
3. $10 Million from Min. Wong for Research into Health Effects of Climate Change (Are you kidding is this a Joke?))
4. Desley & Anna taking credit for Japan Flights by Continental Micronesia. ( six flight per week in March and two more in September & October, maybe)
5. Base Hospital upgrade $450 Million (waste of Money).
This hospital is not protected from a tsunami or from tidal surge from a cyclone. When we do have a disaster and we will, the fricken hospital will be out of commission! Where does the State Labor government suggest we go for medical assistance? They would say, oh my you can go to Brisbane or T'ville? These people are rolling the dice and we in the north will suffer the consequences of this lack of clear thought!
6. Couch assured by Anna B. a new oncology unit by 2010 (20 yrs. late)
Anna B. and friends four years late on most of these promises, rushing to completion before September and the next State election. Just enough time to prop up the polls and squeak by and for us get another four years of waste and mismanagement from this mob!
Meanwhile Anna B. is flying all over the state in her private jet at $3000 per hour in a so called tight economy and polluting our air with all that CO2 and wasting fuel for political excursions!
And all of this nonsense promoted this week by my good friend at 846 Radio and the Cairns Post and of course at no charge to the State Labor Government!
And still we don't have an all weather Hiway south!
And what's even worst this disgraceful Qld Labor government with no vision whatsoever for our future, will be re elected because we have no viable alternative government to vote for!
And that's the Northern Truth
I'm so tough, I'm amazed I haven't rusted

The problem with the hiway south has always been that Labor preferred to play the "blame game" then actually cost a solution.
Warren Pitt and his predecessors at Main Roads would complain about Howard and how he would not allocate funds, and when Howard asked "how much do you need?" the Labor State Government could not come up with a figure.
And, when they did eventually come up with a figure, they grossly undercosted to the tune of millions of dollars.
We will get an all-weather hiway shortly with the completion of the mulgrave bridge, tully and ingham projects but it is well over due and well over budget because Labor cannot manage money.
I think you are right about previous oppositions. In fact I voted Labor at the last State election. This time its different though. We have good candidates in Far North Queensland with a stable leadership group in Springborg and McArdle. Springborg is not going to knock your socks off but he is steady and capable. McArdle has real potential as well.
Regarding Springborg weak comes over as Gomer Pyle with an Australian QLD accent! McArdle stabbed me in the back when I was on Liberal State Council and cannot be trusted and is weak in character and not trustworthy.
Your insights into some of the characters are very interesting! What is your opinion of Russell Trood? I will be in his son's wedding party in April, but I have never met the man himself.
I guess this is the problem with politics on the right. We cant even convince ourselves we should take Government. And Labor are so poor that it beggars belief, but have been in power for most of 20 years.
I'll take Springborg over Bligh though. And Black over Pitt as well.
I like Sen. Russell Trood, he is a man of character and honour. A very capable person. Extremely thoughtful and intelligent individual! Always very helpful when called upon to support the North! I consider him a friend.
Warren Pitt is a G_d in Mulgrave and Vic has his work cut-out for him. As for Springborg and Bligh you know how I feel about his chances, slim and none!
