It might have been wise to have created a position of 'Minister for North Queensland' and rolled that into the State Development ministry.

We should be getting onto them as soon as possible once things settle down so we can start to push for them to fix the mess - principally fares.

Immediately scrapping the TTCC would be a positive first step and show of good faith.
