A beautiful part of the world is far North Queensland. Great Barrier Reef, the Daintree, stunning scenery and so on.

Kevin Byrne is Executive Manager of Enterprise North, based in Cairns.

In a recent article in City Life Magazine he said that confidence has been destroyed in shutdown madness. In that article which was mostly focused on Govt’s destructive Covid overreach and the damage to Far North Queensland, he said “the Government needs to play their part by not meddling unnecessarily, keeping their word, investing in infrastructure that focuses on growing community needs and creating the environment that encourages business investment to create growth alongside job opportunities”.

Kevin Byrne is Executive Director of Enterprise North, a North Queensland organization that fosters economic growth in this region of Australia. Kevin Byrne has enjoyed a successful forty-year career across government, military and business.

He was Mayor of Cairns for eleven years during which time the city positioned itself as the international gateway to Northern Australia. Kevin is a passionate advocate for Northern Australia who talks to us about the impact of intermittent border closures.
