ROB PYNE
Born in Gordonvale and raised in Edmonton, Rob worked in various professions until breaking his neck in 1991, when he decided to embark on study, so he could re-enter the wok force. He then completed a Bachelor of Arts in History and Politics at James Cook University (JCU) and a Law Degree at QUT. Rob, who now lives (with wife Jenny and daughter Katie) in Mount Sheridan, was employed by JCU in 2000, remaining there until 2008 when he was elected to represent Division 3 on Cairns Regional Council.

[...] Dear Mr. Borbidge, Thank you so much for taking the time to email me your letter regarding the Cairns Entertainment Precinct. It is not every day one gets an email from a former Premier! History records your dedication to putting the interests of the people of Queensland ahead of other short-term political considerations, which I guess is why you have the letters AO after your name, which is an honour few share. Yes, I will certainty vote in support of the Entertainment Precinct. I hope you do not mind, but I have taken the liberty to copy other Councilors into my reply so they also have access to your wisdom in the hope they too will put the long-term future or our city first. In closing, I again sincerely thank you for taking the time to offer your considered advice at this important point in the life of our city. Warm Regards, Rob Pyne. [...]
