Nearly 1500 fed up Cairns residents turned up today for a rally along the Esplanade finishing in the CBD with election candidates speaking from a podium.
There are 11 candidates contesting the seat of Leichardt held by Liberal Warren Entsch, the architect of gay marriage laws.
Entsch naturally did not attend or did the Labor candidate Elida Faith. No doubt they could have held fears for their safety had they shown up.
The protest was well organised and there were no arrests for unruly behaviour. Police stopped traffic while protesters converged onto the mall area for short speeches from candidates.
All called for the demise of LNP, ALP and Greens describing them as traitors to the people for selling the country out and their police-state Covid responses.
Bob Katter said he would be investigating the prospects of prosecuting Queensland Labor Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk for killing off small business and enforcing vaccine mandates.
Every candidate spoke extremely well and it should be comforting that Cairns residents have so many capable independents to choose from on the ballot paper.
It was indeed refreshing to hear from KAP, UAP, One Nation, Informed Medical Options Party, Australian Federation Party and Fusion Party.

Hi Attila, And to top things off Mercury’s in retrograde, creating even more chaotic, scattered and anxious energy than usual.
Some people seem to be heading toward full tilt right now. Gonna get reeeeal bumpy.
Definition of insanity,
Doing the same thing (“protesting”) over and over hoping for a different outcome.
ED, I was there, must of been number four and I can count.
Just went back over your posts and found it on May 3rd so my bad.
I was very disappointed with the turn out as the last two have been declining from the many thousands at the previous rallies.
A lot of us don’t do social media so we are not in any loop for info, rely on the likes of CN and commenters.
Yes you did miss it and three people estimated at least 1500. Ed
1500 people, gross over estimate.
The event was advertised in “Freedom Park”, no such park exists in Cairns. You can’t invent or rebadge and expect anyone to know what your talking about.
I don’t remember Cairns News running an article on the upcoming event, did I miss it?
How great would it be to see this on giant billboards everywhere?

Awakened Aussies, Power to them!
Thank you wonderful people for being our voices too against appalling State and Federal Government Tyranny.
These monstrous Political and Medical Tyrants et al must be smashed at the upcoming Federal Election.
This is heartening…
