Independent Cairns Council Elections 2024 Candidates Shane Cuthbert (Division 4), Rob Pyne (Division 5) and Pat O'Shane OAM (Division 8) jointly announce their candidacy in Cairns.
Well known in the Cairns community as current division 2 Councillor and former Cairns MP Rob Pyne looks forward to contesting the Division 5 seat left empty by incumbent Councillor Amy Eden who intends to make the move to Mayor.
Former Magistrate Pat O'Shane OAM needs no introduction, having accomplished much throughout her life. Pat was the first indigenous female school teacher in Queensland, the first female indigenous lawyer and first indigenous Magistrate among other things. Pat was asked by then Premier of New South Wales Neville Wran, to head up the NSW department of land rights (the first in the country).
President of CQU's Law Society Shane Cuthbert, is not stranger to Pat O'Shane, having been sentenced by the Magistrate in 2009. Since then, the two have developed a friendship and look forward to supporting each other throughout the local elections in 2024. Shane was asked by Rob Pyns in 2020, to consider running and has spent the past four years working, advocating and volunteering in Cairns. No 'overnight sensation', Shane Cuthbert has attended MOST Cairns Regional Council meetings over the past 18 months and says 'he is the ONLY candidate to do so', 'I'm the ONLY candidate who cares LONG TERM, let my level of commitment and effort over the last four years provide you with an insight to the level commitment and effort i'll be putting in the next four'.
