When will our so-called civic leaders get more realistic?

Again in the Cairns Post Friday September 4, 2015 the headlines read:

Cairns’ business leaders pressure government to approve Aquis
Do these people ever read &  google the website to get information about Aquis or are they rubbing their hands together hoping to be up front with the Fungs. 
A message to our civic leaders "get over it Aquis will not happen you are being hoodwinked, it has been 3 years since this so-called project surfaced and as yet nothing.
Don't blame the governments past & present because it was Tony Fung who failed to complete the probity requirements and he failed to attend 3 formal meetings--- SO WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU?.
There are more important issue to worry about in this regional city so get a life and start looking after the business sector as Aquis will not benefit Cairns in any way.
 Some of the comments in todays Post:

Mayor Bob Manning

 Cairns Mayor Bob Manning warned that as the government dithered about key decisions “time kills everything”.
Mr Manning also wants the Government to make the Port of Cairns a priority port with dredging the shipping channel to be put back on the agenda, despite State Development Minister Andrew Lynham ruling otherwise.
“The Government has got to make decisions on the channel and Aquis,” he said.

Ken Chapman

Now there is Ken Chapman whose family built Skyrail and now he's one of Aquis Directors why he's got himself involved with this is anyone guess, Mr Chapman stick with what you have created and built it is something to be proud of.
Chapman Group director Ken Chapman, who also is an independent director of Aquis Entertainment, said the Government needed to ­approve major projects such as Aquis and spend money on infrastructure for the region.
“They need to get going, they haven’t even done the planning,” he said. “They haven’t been preparing for the future in any big way.”
 Brett Moller had this to say:

Chamber of Commerce and Industry Queensland president Brett Moller said the Government must invest in infrastructure.rade, the second range crossing at Toowoomba and the Aquis integrated resort as the three big infrastructure projects that together will reinvigorate our economy,” he said.
We have identified the Bruce Highway upgrade, the second range crossing at Toowoomba and the Aquis integrated resort as the three big infrastructure projects that together will reinvigorate our economy,” he said.

Deb Hancock said:

Cairns chamber chief executive Deb Hancock said it was time for action.
“We have a list of projects totalling $21.5 billion across the Far North and a number of them are being hamstrung, either by being subject to government approvals that are taking far too long, or by government red tape that is adding to the cost of investing in Queensland,” she said.









Mark Matthews said:

Advance Cairns chief executive Mark Matthews said: “The Aquis development will be a significant contributor to our region’s growth, and we call on the government to finalise the arrangements so that the project can proceed without further delay.”


Finally, these people really need to consider the more important things around Cairns than Aquis.
