Anna Blight- on- the- Landscape flogged of Cairns airport for abt 1/2 its real value, and annually it was contributing millions to the Govt/Taxpayers coffers. The sale price was claimed to be for a new Cairns Hospital further inland from the coast...which never happened.
She also put on a song and dance at YMBA...just prior to the election.. as a vote buying exercise offered 15 mil for an upgrade. That didnt happen then either.
Lost the election tho' ...but no matter, slides into a fab sinecure as CEO of Bankers Association.
THe Lucky Country?... for some. I think we now have UN status as an NDBR....Newly Developing Banana Republic.
