All politics is local

New education minister Jason Clare was tweeting in Cairns yesterday, doing a media-op at the most photographed vacant lot in FNQ – the site of CQU’s proposed new campus, with VC Nick Klomp and local Labor senator Nita Green.
Labor committed to fund the project during the campaign – as did the coalition. So, “well done that minister!” for including local MP and long-time CQU supporter Warren Entsch (LNP).

And undoubtedly ensuring all noses stayed in joint Mr Clare also met with James Cook U VC Simon Biggs and colleagues, who were in town.
