Power in the Daintree has been a controversial issue but many falsehoods have emerged from social media platforms of those wanting it stopped. Even groups who are supposedly GREEN have stymied attempts to bring the 'Clean & Green' technology to the Rainforest to do away with polluting generators. Today the man who's job is it to bring all the players together, Volt Advisory Group project manager Richard Schoenemann, gave locals a run down on the latest developments. Chaired by Daintree Renewable Energy president Russell O'Doherty, Federal MP Warren Entsch also took a swing at detractors saying this project WILL go ahead. The meeting was attended also by the Mayor Michael Kerr and most of the Douglas Shire Councillors.

And it's even worse when you learn the environment suffered as well. Karen And Chris chat to FAB FM's Paul Makin. They are joined by farmer Clint Reynolds and the current Douglas Shire Council Mayor Michael Kerr.

It took all of FAB FM's Paul Makin's skills to track down Country Singer Shane Powell in the U.S. Paul eventually located him in Frankin Tennessee just south of Nashville. But he's changed his tune and swapped FAME for FAMILY, a landscaping business and real estate. Paul's phone call however has him thinking about a return to the stage. MAYBE!
