Another one for the racist, misogynistic, climate deniers. This woman is a dangerous clown - her allegiance is to the fascist state of Israel and her hatred would see many Australians targeted because of their religion, ethnicity or sexual preference. This billionaire bootlicker is a very real threat to Australian workers and the poor.

It is fantastic to have the lagoon open again. Good news is we don’t need to worry about this for another two years (though we are looking to change the maintenance schedule so we don’t shut down in 2032 re the Olympics). A big thanks to Cairns Regional Council staff for all their good work!
