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 plaging Cairns and Far North Queensland has now crept into piublic 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 payemnt 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.
