Local government elections, at grassroots level of the State often produce some ‘different’ candidates with novel campaigns and promises that cannot be met.
Cairns Regional Council at the upcoming council election on Saturday has attracted candidates from across the political spectrum espousing wacky policies that they can never deliver on.
Local Government councils lawfully, are in effect another State Government department. Local Government legislation gives almost all authority to the unelected CEO, leaving Mayors and councillors an expensive irrelevancy, because ultimate power lies with the government of the day.
Former Cairns police chief Paul Taylor has centered his mayoral campaign on the immense problem of runaway juvenile crime which is just what the long-suffering rate payers of Cairns want to hear because wall-to-wall state Labor politicians in Cairns have not been able to make one bit of difference to the burgeoning crime statistics over the past seven years, even if they wanted to.
Car stealing, break-ins and home invasions continue to plague Cairns and the Tablelands, a dire situation that former police officer Paul Taylor says he can fix.
Unfortunately candidates have not done any research as to why Labor won’t lift a finger to clean up juvenile crime where the main culprits are black youth.
United Nations Declarations on the Rights of Indigenous People and UN Convention on the Rights of the Child to which Labor is a signatory, prevents the ALP from enacting any policy that affects black entitlement to crime.
The Labor Party is obligated to the UN for all policy decisions and has been for decades which is why there are so many repeat juvenile offenders who keep stealing cars while on bail for previous offences.
Black and white kid criminals are not allowed to be locked up and nothing will convince a Labor politician otherwise.
Local businessman wants to poison ratepayers with industrial-waste fluoride
James Coll
Another local candidate vying for a councillor position wants to poison the community by adding fluoride to the water supply. This misguided, hopeful, local businessman James Coll has staked his whole campaign on an issue he can do absolutely nothing about even if he was elected.
Polling of ratepayers in Cairns over the years has rejected fluoridation of drinking water and in 2013 the council voted to remove it saying it amounted to ‘involuntary medication’ of residents.
Candidate Coll leaves himself wide open and so would a council re-introducing a neurotoxin to potable water after a Brisbane Supreme Court decision last week found Covid vaccination mandates unlawful as these directions had limited the human rights of workers because they were required to undergo a medical procedure without full consent.
Adding industrial fluoride to drinking water is a medical procedure because dentists claim it prevents tooth decay. Many studies have found it does not prevent tooth decay.
Anti-fluoride activists across the state are now sharpening their pencils ready to swamp courts with well-documented evidence to have toxic fluoride removed from all drinking water.
Walls
Then there is another Mayoral candidate, Denis Walls, a known strident Green who wants to blanket Cairns with trees, just ready for a marauding cyclone to wreak major property damage.
Cairns residents had better beware, there are five other Greens candidates lurking in the shade of abundant city trees also waiting to invoke their woke policies if elected.
Former federal election Greens candidates Phillip Musumeci and Renee Lees are among a team of six that has entered the Cairns Regional Council election race.
The team, Community First, is led by Whitfield resident and former president of Cairns and Far North Environment Centre’s management committee, Denis Walls.

The Communist revolution is the most radical rupture with traditional property relations; no wonder that its development involved the most radical rupture with traditional ideas.
But let us have done with the bourgeois objections to Communism. We have seen above, that the first step in the revolution by the working class is to raise the proletariat to the position of ruling class to win the battle of democracy.
The proletariat will use its political supremacy to wrest, by degree, all capital from the bourgeoisie, to centralise all instruments of production in the hands of the State, i.e., of the proletariat organised as the ruling class; and to increase the total productive forces as rapidly as possible.
Of course, in the beginning, this cannot be effected except by means of despotic inroads on the rights of property, and on the conditions of bourgeois production; by means of measures, therefore, which appear economically insufficient and untenable, but which, in the course of the movement, outstrip themselves, necessitate further inroads upon the old social order,12 and are unavoidable as a means of entirely revolutionising the mode of production.
These measures will, of course, be different in different countries.13
Nevertheless, in most advanced countries, the following will be pretty generally applicable.
1. Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes.
2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance.
4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.
5. Centralisation of credit in the hands of the state, by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly.
6. Centralisation of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the State.
7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the State; the bringing into cultivation of waste-lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.
8. Equal liability of all to work. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture.
Chapter II: Proletarians and Communists 49 Marxists Internet Archive
9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of all the distinction between town and country by a more equable distribution of the populace over the country.
10. Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children’s factory labour in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production, &c, &c.
When, in the course of development, class distinctions have disappeared, and all production has been concentrated in the hands of a vast character. Political power, properly so called, is merely the organised power of one class for oppressing another. If the proletariat during its contest with the bourgeoisie is compelled, by the force of circumstances, to organise itself as a class, if, by means of a revolution, it makes itself the ruling class, and, as such, sweeps away by force the old conditions of production, then it will, along with these conditions, have swept away the conditions for the existence of class antagonisms and of classes generally, and will thereby have abolished its own supremacy as a class.
In place of the old bourgeois society, with its classes and class antagonisms, we shall have an association, in which the free development of each is the condition for the free development of all

19 – A reply to Local Council threat letter. A reply to Local Council threat. Most Councillors are told (by their unelected CEO, no doubt) to ignore you when you request their proof of authority, or they write stuff as below. They are deliberately lying. OR they realise that people are waking up to the massive extortion fraud, which those …
……………..Anyone who thinks and investigates knows that in 1900 the Referendum was accepted by the people to unite under one Government. All previous State legislation was allowed to continue EXCEPT anything which was in conflict with the new CONSTITUTION OF AUSTRALIA ACT 1901. That is clear in Section 109. Today, Local Councils have no place in our land. So why did the power hungry try in 1974 and 1988 with the Referendums asking for a 3rd tier of Gov’t , specifically Local Government if it was legitimate ??? It was NOT legit and the people clearly said a big fat NO.

Thanks for laying this information out IN PLAIN ENGLISH.
Just so NO-ONE here on the forum misses the point, the Pommie constables TAKE AN OATH in allegiance to the people who they are SUPPOSED TO SERVE.
Our FAKE Australian “police” make NO SUCH OATH, because as you correctly pointed out, they are all just HIRED HANDS who work for CORPORATE ENTITIES which MASQUERADE as the “police services” of each Australian state and territory.
They have all the legitimacy and authority of the commercial security guard working down at the local shopping mall, along with the commercial liability attaching thereto.
And as I like to mention occasionally, as emphatically demonstrated by their behaviour over the last four years, the fake Australian “police” are all foreign-owned HIRED MERCENARY GANGSTERS who presume to occupy our country under FORCE OF ARMS.
Klaus Swab protege Sarah Hanson Young of the Greens Party has been telling us how they are saving us from “CO2 Global Warming” and Planetary Boiling while giving her party leader a free pass on taking private jets around the place, cost $23k last year or however they calculate. Old Chromedome is equally useless at getting eastern states power bills down, they need to focus on commercial buildings rooftop solar and forget about mad solar panel farms out in the desert.
In the middle is Elbow, useless as a pocket on underpants. With all these deadbeats occupying positions of power we are sunk.
For the benefit of WEF Sarah Hanson-Young here is the sun showing massive plasma bursts from mid February, just open the tab on the left and you can go back in time a day a week whatever. The weather has nothing to do with CO2 Sarah hanson Young, you are either a liar or a first class f***wit

In addition to the United Nations Declarations on the Rights of Indigenous People and UN Convention on the Rights of the Child you forgot to mention the Closing the Gap Agreement for which the Commonwealth provides Billions of taxpayer funds to the States to achieve those targets such as reducing indigenous youth incarceration rates by 30%
In regard to policing, all policing outfits are now corporate, so they are subject to full commercial liability for any failure to properly police your city (I am a former resident of Cairns, having worked on big projects like The Pier, Earleville shopping centre and the university out at Smithfield) and protect life an property, as is the contractual mandate of all police.
This item will give you an idea of the proper role of a police constable-no agenda, no policy (policy entails acceptance of commercial liability) just straight policing, as detailed here-and applicable here, as we are (or should be) a Commonwealth country:

Alan Vaughn, said:
“And where we the people have absolutely no influence on who is indeed (pre) selected”
and;
“You’ll never get rid of hem at their rigged selections, nor ‘vote’ your way out of totalitarianism.”
100% correct, true, fact.
Any Australian who takes part in the rigged elections for the three levels of shonky Governments is supporting the grubs who have harmed, culled, scammed, lied to, sold out, conned the Australian people.
The longer we keep voting for them to control our lives, the more legitimate we make them.
After knowing what they have done to us and what was our Country, and you then vote for them or take part in their electoral systems, you are asking for more of the same.
That is just plain stupidity.
If that is how we are to fix the mess we let ourselves get into, then we are doomed to continue supporting our own demise.
Why prolong the agony, take the jabs, loose your property, freedoms and rights, get it over with, it will be kinder on the kids.
Negative attitude, negative comments, absolutely.
Will a truck load of hope and grin and bear it, fix our problems?
Will lets all join hands and pray and laugh away our problems work?
Ask those harmed by the jabs or being harmed and culled in Gaza and other conflicts/wars how the praying is helping.
Waking up includes admitting the ways that we support the systems that harm, murder and enslave us.
Before a saviour steps in to save us, we have to put in a realistic effort to fix our (we let it happen) problems.
If you were a saviour, would you help those who continued to support their own demise? I would not, will not.
Western Europe banned fluoride in 1954 when they found it causes flurodosis in children and causes seven terminal cancers. It has since been found to cause worse damage, including reducing childrents’ IQ.

Ex boss of the Cops Paul Taylor is trying to use the local government to do what the State government won’t and he will find that he has no authority to carry out his agenda if he does become Mayor so he should just stick to filling the potholes and making sure the rubbish bins are emptied while he acts out his role as a FNQ district manager for the Qld State government
Wouldn’t it be an interesting situation if all those juvenile crims investigated the homes of the Labor politicians / Councillors and their kin?
I wonder what the outcome would be to that?
I am sure these Laborites/Councillors are all very wealthy and wouldn’t mind sharing their wealth with these ‘poor innocent children’!
The Greens are a UN Climate Nutter Cult. The ‘energy crisis’ over which they are casting spells and intoning mantras is entirely gov’t created in partnership with political psychopaths and climate alarm scientists.

99% of CN readers still refuse to see that elephant in the room.
I don’t partake in any of their rigged fool’s games they call ‘elections’and haven’t for many years.
You’ll never get rid of hem at their rigged selections, nor ‘vote’ your way out of totalitarianism.
It’s just awful all the mad scientists around the place, why can’t they experiment on themselves, I have no objection, they can shoot themselves up with anything they like and drink fluoride and other chemicals by the bucketful, I welcome all of that, why do they want to get others on their drug trips, it is incomprehensible to me unless they are profiteering as drug pushers, nothing else makes any sense
