Newsport Print paves the way to news and entertainment

The first paper out following a Federal Election could be feared for being a bit dull, but full of necessary news, but our election coverage promise to you is to keep the positive vibes, community news and sports coverage rolling in the Newsport Daily Print edition, out today in all of our usual outlets.

Sure, there’s no dodging the big election result for the seat of Leichhardt with Labor’s Matt Smith taking what was pre-election considered to be a key seat with a massive 10 per cent swing. We’ve got the result covered and pose the question of when the new Member for Leichhardt is likely to make his first visit to Douglas Shire.

But we’ve also packed the print edition with the colour as we prepare for the biggest event of the year, the Port Douglas Carnivale with a stunning front page pic of some of the parade performers ready for action.

A controversial plan to build a solar farm near Port Douglas gets a good run, along with reader letters about the plan, and there’s been plenty of talk about boat ramp closures and work there too.
