On other matters

Michelle Obama thinks it’s her turn to be US president (CP, 07/01). Do it, Michelle. Run against the Donald in 2020. We could use the laugh. Rodger R, Redlynch

The Labor stalwarts propaganda has started. Entsch has done much here in the north. State Labor members have delivered, a new hotel and possibly another casino we can ill afford. The Smithfield debacle is just another Labor mess. David, Holloways Beach

Beth, Kanimbla (CP, 06/01). I worked hard all my life, paid my taxes and don’t expect any tax breaks on my savings. Tax dodging schemes like tax credits on dividends only result in honest hard working people paying more tax. Unlimited negative gearing tax breaks on houses hold out young families trying to buy their first home. Retiree, Cairns

There is one undeniable fact to come out of Peter Campion’s hot-air diatribe on CO2 (CP, 07/01) and that is he should not give up his day job because science is not his strong point. Cathy, Kanimbla

Re: Sign with bullet holes. Last time I checked just about every roadside sign in the Outback has bullet holes lol. Mick, Cairns

Would burning a billion tonnes of coal per year raise the temperature of planet earth? Oh. What’s that over there? Rob, Machans Beach

Dr Ford. If women don’t want to go to a gym for fear of being looked at by a male then I suggest you start a women’s-only gym and see how many turn up. In my day women would have turned around and one almighty slap across the face would have been the answer. Carolyn, Edge Hill
