PAUL TAYLOR MAYORAL CANDIDATE (Independent)
Paul Taylor is the former Deputy Commissioner of the Queensland Police recently retired. The late Kevin Byrne (former Mayor) asked Paul Taylor to consider running as Mayor given the regions escelating crime issues particularly, youth crime.
Paul Taylor told the Cairns Post recently that he would be "more than justa alaw and order Mayory" and is focused on economic growth, commercial investment in the CBD and development.
Paul Taylor is the only independent Mayoral candidate following announcments by Amy Eden, Terry James and Dennis Walls to nominate alongside their own teams.
Paul Taylor says “in his view teams have run their course" adding, "I don't think party politics should be in local government,” he said.
Mr Taylor served with Queensland Police for 45 years including a stint as the Northern Region’s Assistant Commissioner from 2015 to 2020 where he co-ordinated major policing operations that targeted young and adult offenders and resulted in hundreds of arrests.
He was then promoted to Deputy Commissioner Regional Queensland but resigned in August 2022 following the high-level police inquiry that revealed he’d referred to a gynaecologist, as a “vagina whisperer”.
Mr Taylor maintains he meant no offence with the comments, had apologised and wants to continue serving the community as part of a NEW Council.
