John MacKenzie chats with Cr. Brett Olds, CRC Representative for Division 9, about two council matters: "Facilities Going Cashless" and "Security Guards at Libraries".



The crime emergency plaguing Cairns and Far North Queensland has now crept into public libraries with the Cairns Regional Council now employing security to protect staff and the community.



The other hot topic of local controversy is the Council's internal move away from accepting cash payment at the Cairns transfer station. Enraged resident, Frankie Hogan, has organised a petition that is fast gathering signatures to express the want for cash payment options.



You can find the "Bring Back Cash Payment Option to CRC Facilities" petition at supportive businesses/groups. List Below:
