On Monday the 5th September, both Shane Cuthbert and Rob Pyne will appear before the Queensland Governments, Community Support and Services Committee: Inquiry into the Decriminalisation of Certain Public Offences, and Health and Welfare Responses.
The Inquiry will hold a regional Hearing in Cairns as the Committee acknowledges the impact any decriminilisation of these offences will have in regional areas and more specifically, Cairns. Shane Cuthbert has made a lengthy submission to the Inquiry and will answer to those submissions with the support of Cairns Councillor Rob Pyne. Both Cuthbert and Pyne support the decriminilisation of these offences. CLICK HERE to view the submission.

Unfortunately Cynthia Lui MP Member for Cook was unable to attend.
