As I can only represent my own personal views and I am willing to be upfront with you… my preference is that you resign from your association with this project and move onto another project more worthy of your skill-set and honesty.  From the meeting the other night it feels like we’re about to get the WOMAN-WASH… similar to the old-fashioned GREEN-WASH.  Same, same but different :- )

Gentrification (and being pushed further afield) is the last thing these gentle people need on their homelands bulmba.  If you know anything about Kuranda – you will know that.

Not to mention the flora and fauna species of which we have 22 ENDANGERED and 13 THREATENED represented on BARNWELL land-water.  All large rural titles are unsuitable for development on the Vital Kuranda Envirolink Corridor.

Thank you for your time and research on our various community points of view – in the end – the best thing for this property is to do nothing.  It is cheap rural land and you know how the saying goes… if it seems too good to be true – it probably is!  Ken Lee is being unrealistic about what this land owes him and what our community should have to put up with.

Kind regards,

jo
