Re Kevin Byrne
The detail contained on Kevin Byrne has been deliberately posted to create the image of some shady character. The reference to his wife is uncalled for and not relevant. She pleaded guilty to some administrative indiscretians in relation to an accommodation letting business she managed. It was an administrative tribunal hearing where she opted for that ruling so as to bring finality to an investigation and that she had no intention of ever returning to management letting again. There was no suggestion of improper and dishonest conduct on the part of Mrs Byrne and no finding was made about her integrity or honesty but rather she was someone who found herself in a position buyond her control and the administration of the business suffered as a result.Your reporting of this suggests otherwise and is not relevant to Kevin Byrne and should be removed. In public life people are often "accused" of improper conduct and referred to various investigative bodies. They are often made by aggrieved individuals with an axe to grind and they report their referral actions to the media who delight in the subdefuge. For the record Kevin Byrne is the second longest serving mayor in the history of Cairns city and was completely exonerated by any investigative body to which he was allegedly "referred" over his eleven years in office.The Crime and Misconduct Commission of Queensland have no records of any adverse findings against Mr Byrne and nor are there any civil or criminal cases ever been mounted against him including by any anti discrimination commission.You seem to delight in portraying Kevin Byrne as someone who courts controvesy. The whole post on Mr Byrne needs to re balanced and irrelevant and mischievous comment meant to demean him and to paint him as some sort of shady individual needs to be removed. The reference to KUC being a case in point. Mr Byrne obtained his degree in 1993 and the issues surrounding KUC to which you refer occured later. Because of this controversy subsequent to 1993, and the odium cast on a good many who were not part of this cash for degree concept and the findings of activities on one campus, Mr Byrne has subsequently removed this from his CV.In fact the whole Wikipedia reference to Kevin Byrne needs to be removed as the page only serves to discredit a very worthy individual as well as discrediting the values of wikipedia:Expatriat one (talk) 07:12, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
