She covers a multitude of mundane, populist issues some of which really don’t affect the bush or primary industries.Once a Liberal Party candidate for the federal seat of Leichardt, which takes in Cape York Peninsula and northern Cairns, Charlie McKillop could one day reach the soaring heights of her namesake, the Catholic Saint, Mary MacKillop.Providing she learns how to think out of the square.Never one to let a good story get in the way of political ideology, Charlie was remarkably noticeable by her absence on the Atherton Tablelands in the aftermath of the panama disease outbreak that could have decimated the entire banana industry.The Australian Banana Growers Association was caught napping when word got out about the Panama outbreak at Mareeba that was later proven to be a false test by Bio-security.But the quarantine procedures hastily stuck together by government and industry still apply and have cost growers dearly.During the false outbreak Charlie dutifully reported every nuance of the government departments and the ABGA.Professors of plant life, agronomists and farmers unilaterally agreed once a farm was infected with the doomsday fungus, it was curtains, all over, finito.Then ABGA joined the chorus assuring farmers and the public that Armageddon had arrived on the Tablelands.Then a quietly spoken soil nutritionist from the Kingaroy area contacted Katters Australian Party with the news that Panama disease was not an atomic bomb for bananas.The KAP, fortunately had some rather experienced farmers in their ranks who had heard of the peanut grower, John Koehler from the South Burnett who 25 years ago had managed to produce exceptional dryland peanuts without any measurable occurrence of aflatoxin, caused by a fungal disease that is quite toxic if consumed.Koehler had transformed previously unusable and ‘flogged out’ peanut paddocks into viable growing areas once again with the diligent application of minerals that were either non-existent or long-missing from most Australian soils.News reports from the Sunshine Coast district recently carried a similar story about the ailing ginger industry that has been flayed with disease leaving most traditional growing country unusable due to a virile fungus.Koehler and an agronomist colleague had reversed the ginger fungus problem in trial plots and increased yield by up to 1000 per cent.The Tableland party organised a seminar at Mareeba for Mr Koehler to assist banana growers in rejuvenating their paddocks by applying the correct minerals in a balanced formula.Local newspapers and radio stations carried different stories and were excited that “Panama is not a death sentence” as one headline declared.This was big news in the north, that the $700 million industry could be saved.Unfortunately Charlie and her Townsville counterpart Craig Zonka were missing in action. The ABC let down its country listeners by denying them some hope of preventing the disease to strike.Charlie’s Liberal ideology stopped her from reporting on this proven solution for hundreds of desperate farmers.Not to be outdone, KAP on August 31, hosted a meeting of 300 desperate and dispossessed cattle producers at Charters Towers.

However, the Gilbert River catchment reserves will not be made available until after the environmental impact assessment process has been completed for the proposed Integrated Food and Energy Developments (IFED).Mr Katter said today that the plan would amount to nothing more than corporate farming, which was of no value to the people of Australia.“Whilst we welcome the Minister’s positive comments on water development, there is no way in the world we’re going to stand aside and see all of our water given to corporations.“Because that is what is proposed here. ‘So frustrating’: Cairns man stuck overseas in COVID limboAFL Grand Final 2020: Persistent golfer behind Gil McLachlan steals show | Cairns PostCairns crime: Stasiak drug syndicate’s ice impact on FNQ | Cairns PostTownsville vet on board missing live cattle export ship | Cairns PostYour Say 2020: Take the Queensland sentiment survey | Cairns PostTransgender star Jessica Alves stuns in bikini after $55K bum lift | Photo | Cairns PostCooktown crash: Alcohol a factor in fatal vehicle rollover, police say | Cairns PostAFL 2020: Demons and Swans clash at Cazalys Stadium | Cairns PostThe Cairns Post | Breaking News and Headlines from Cairns and Far North Queensland | Cairns Post

— The Cairns Post, The Weekend Post, CarsGuide, 6th May, 2006 A public relations agent couldn't do better. Financial experts predict there is much worse to come. The Malthusians of the World Wildlife Fund and the Australian Conservation Foundation got the Cairns Post into hot water on Saturday Nov 7, when the Murdoch tabloid published their untruthful and misleading media release about land clearing.Olive Vale station at Laura was granted a permit to clear 31,800 ha by the former LNP State Government but the WWF in usual form, churned out misleading information in an effort to halt any development in the north.Local federal Liberal member Warren Entsch has been severely embarrassed by the publication of the falsified information that the journalist admitted was not checked for fact.However to his credit he has come out swinging at the greenie “clowns” and his own government.It would have been an easy exercise for the journalist to simply read previous articles held on file in the Cairns Post newsroom.Not so the Murdoch media and in shades of the ABC, it simply regurgitates the dishonest crap put out by the multitude of Cairns greenie groups, particularly anything that mentions the Great Barrier Reef.The offending article elicited a stinging rebuke from owner of Olive Vale station, Paul Ryan.Andrew Picone of the Australian Conservation Foundation, a Malthusian, caught out sending misleading and dishonest media releases to the Cairns Post about lawful land clearing.The Cairns Post, in a half-hearted retraction in its November 10 issue, tried to smooth over the irresponsible greenie claptrap.In an email to Mr Ryan , journalist Kimberley Vlasic apologised for not contacting Mr Ryan to get the facts.
