Last week we asked the question: Do you think Queensland’s First Nations Cultural Centre should be in Cairns and why? Here are some of your comments.

It makes perfect sense. The region is home to both Aboriginal and Torres Strait cultures, the Cairns Indigenous Art Fair gets bigger every year, another one is proposed and there are many First Nations art and cultural venues throughout the Far North.

THIS WEEK’S QUESTION

Are you going to the Cairns Show and what will you be doing? @cairnslocalnews generally happy with our laws, it is actually a change I am opposing. His tangential trip into politics is also all of his own doing. I did not mention any political view.

The ‘no’ campaign is not limited to one political or ethnic group.

The ideal venue would be Tjapukai at Smithfield which hasn’t reopened since COVID. It would draw visitors from Skyrail and the artillery museum.

Megs, Kuranda

Yes, let it be built here. Brisbane can have a smaller one but the Far North should be home to the main centre.

Bob, Mooroobool

From my point of view it is apolitical. Lastly his concern for Prime Minister Anthony Albanese changing his election promises is a bit of a joke. No Australian government has much of a track record on honouring election promises once

For goodness sake, does the southeast have to get everything? They tried to put the Stockland Hall of Fame in a capital city which had no relevance or authenticity whatsoever. Look who won out - Longreach.

Rachael, Edmonton

It would be something young Indigenous people would be drawn to and give them something constructive to do.

Susan, Edge Hill

There’s more to the Far North than the Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree rainforest. Let’s celebrate Indigenous arts and culture with a permanent venue to showcase the incredible talent and heritage.

Clinton, Port Douglas they are elected and Albo does not stand out as an exception. I will vote no to the voice because nobody has any idea of what this constitutionally enshrined body will be.
