Jim Brooks again proved that he can handle the heat and answered all questions without raising his voice or cutting anyone off (which you probably feel like doing) and one of the callers was Bob from Forrest Gardens (crime stopper person) who was also on the talkback show on Thursday February 25, 2016 the day after Jim Brooks made his first radio appearance saying that in his opinion he felt that Jim Brookd was arrogant and didn't want to liten to anyone and taking over the callers, well Bob I listened to that session and I didn't hear him trying to talk over the callers.
Bob also tried to get into Jim Brooks on todays talkback and at one stage said that he should get his head out of the clouds and went on talking about the dredging and that the present council support the dredging as it was an important part of Cairns.
As Jim Brooks said on Feb 25 and again today that the council doesn't make the decision as far as the dredging goes it's up to the Federal and State Governments and if they won't move then there's nothing really that can be done except to protest.
Having been on the dredging committee I personally know the hard work that the committee put into the process and have done the best they can.
There are Bob a lot more important things to be done around this city but the incumbent Mayor and some councillors have their minds set on Aquis and if they think that Fung is going to throw money around all one can say is "don't hold your breathe".
I have never met Jim Brooks but listening to him he seems to have a good grip on what should or could be done around this city and nothing seems to faze him and is a very good speaker.
You can't please everyone and council elections are no different, people will stick with Bob Manning and others will probably go with Jim Brooks.
Deborah Hancock stated in the post following the debate between the incumbent Mayor and Jim Brooks that she couldn't pick a winner so the election should be very interesting.
Here's today discussion with Bob and Jim Brooks:
Re Bob from Forest Gardens: as I'm not a mayoral candidate, I can say it: Bob, you're are a right pain in the backside, and there wasn't anything Jim Brooks could have said which would please you. Your mind is shut tight!
