On a recent Saturday morning commercial flight from the very throne of the Queen City of the North , Townsville, to Brisbane , the aircraft taxied out , waited 10 minutes , taxied back .The pilot informed passengers there was a problem with the aft dunny sensor .
Everyone deplaned , waited an hour , and reboarded , to be informed by the pilot that nobody in Townsville could fix the problem , so it was on to Brisbane with the toilet out of use . Strangely , this episode , a blow to the can do image of Townsville , did not get a mention in the local media , evidence that its news gathering sensors need an overhaul .
