On rugby league
What a mistake to let (Kalyn) Ponga go. Thurston had a shocker on Saturday but what’s new? Missed tackles, 1m-long passes, pushed around like a rag doll but still demands the ball every play. Protected species. Should be playing Intrust Cup. Elaine, El Arish Congratulations to Todd Carney. Keep up the good work mate. You can get back to the main arena of the game you love. Best wishes. Icarus, Atherton Just want to say thank you Cairns for such a great Commonwealth Games effort. The great entertainment and cafes along the Esplanade, the amazing show at Munro Martin Parklands and the fantastic games of basketball. What an incredible place we live. Very lucky indeed. Alice, Palm Cove Where is the Labor Party on the live animals export trade? Their silence suggests complicity with the Coalition on this. Senator Hinch has an online petition happening. So, if you care, sign it. Lindsay, Freshwater Police and council do nothing about cars parking on footpaths. I thought it’s illegal. Al, Woree Patrol boats from Cairns and Darwin to be sent all the way to Perth to get their scheduled maintenance when it can be done here in Cairns. Can only be a government decision. Mick, Cairns City Should have seen this one coming folks. Labor’s Michael Healy MP wants to do nothing about crime in his constituency. Seriously, offering these cretins basketball activities has to be the most limpwristed approach. If our prisons are full build a new one. More jobs and less crims on the street. On that note, the prisons should be less like vacation care with TVs and gaming consoles, and more like forced-labour camps. Do your job Michael, we don’t feel safe in our homes. Sam, Edge Hill Who watched the opening ceremony for the Commonwealth Games? Peter Beattie said it was nothing we had ever seen before. He was right. What happened to we are one? No wonder we have separation in Australia. Don, Earlville Mark Zuckerberg has told the US Congress he wants Facebook to be a tool used for “good” with him deciding what “good” is. But by giving up “common carrier” status and controlling content Zuckerberg will be legally liable for unintended consequences. Left-wing billionaires are never as smart as they think they are. Miss T, Tolga Thirty negative Newspolls for our Prime Minister. Not surprised as the media only reports negative news, hardly ever anything positive. Maybe if we saw some good news the Newspoll numbers would change. Beth, Kanimbla
