I believe Ross Parisi was 21 when elected to the Mulgrave Shire Council in the 1970s and George (Watty) Wallace who went on to become State Member for Cairns between 1956 and 1964 was only 21 when elected to the Cairns City Council. Why the hell don't these so called "journalists" get off their backsides and cross reference their facts which is what they are SUPPOSED to do. Sitting there on their fat fairies and making up facts as they go along seems to be what is coming out of The Cairns Post these days.Alison Allowaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7119607598372255618.post-12400536900145461532012-02-21T08:42:30.884+10:002012-02-21T08:42:30.884+10:00Once again, another sloppy journalist who doesn...Once again, another sloppy journalist who doesn't get off her backside to bother checking facts. Cairns has not been a "Labor stronghold for more than a century." Cairns has had three conservative members since the seat was created. The last non Labor member, was the Independent, Joe Barnes who held the seat of Cairns during the war years 1942 to 1947.Alison Allowaynoreply@blogger.com
