Tourism minister, last Friday at the Cairns wildlife dome I risked my life flying in a harness only feet above a snapping 4½-metre crocodile without a gun. I know a lot of you would be rooting for the crocodile! North Queensland tourism is in dire straits. I've done my bit. Would others do theirs by postponing BAS payments for operators? Coronavirus is half the problem, but there is also the overvalued dollar and the lily pad left of Liberal and Labor badmouthing what David Attenborough described as the most magical place on earth: our reef. Surely these latter two matters demand action?
