Yesterday I posted my 1,000th post, and below are links to the most clicked from the first 1,000. Having grown up in Townsville, and knowing the intense debate the issue causes up North, it didn’t surprise me that a post on whether Cairns or Townsville is the capital of North Queensland was number one. Also, there was a lot of interest in posts on the carbon tax and unemployment. Thanks to everyone who has read my blog over the last four years and a bit.

Katrina, thanks heaps for the congratulations and frequent comments on my blog!
Congratulations Gene – 1000 posts is a huge landmark!
Not sure if you’re taking requests but who’s picking up the bill for the G20 and what’s the estimated costs for local businesses in lockdown?
Thanks heaps, Tim. Unfortunately the Australian taxpayer is picking up the bill, I think. Yes, certainly a significant cost to the economy. Will have to post on it!
Thanks Gene, getting to 1000 is a huge achievement. Love the way you so frequently manage to pick out something important in your commentary that is being overlooked or downplayed elsewhere.
Many thanks for the great feedback, Pat.
