On a new youth jail slated for Cairns.

Well do the crime do the time. Never learn if they don’t and they are fully aware of right from wrong.

Chris Ellis

That’s the problem with too many people thinking that youth that do a crime shouldn’t be punished or have consequenc­es. If the parents/guardians of the youth can’t discipline them or teach right from wrong, we as a society/community should not have to put up with their ongoing crimes being unpunished. Build the detention centre and put them away for repeat offenders, then do another study in 10 years to see where our youth crime rates are at.

Carefully planned attacks let in by Australia to usher in the Digital ID. We were told to expect a cyber pandemic over two years ago. Wakey wakey people.

On the Health Minister’s ultimatum to the Mackay Hospital Board.

We the taxpayers should ask the whole useless bunch of QLD Labor MPs the same question of the systematic failures of youth justice in QLD.

John Gregory Riordan

Youth justice? Completely different topic. Might as well talk about the Melbourne Cup.

Dave Washere

The very first person to sack is the Health Minister. Then pay the nurses more.

Sue Martel

Too much upper management on ridiculous salaries, not enough practical workers on the ground who need higher incomes.

On a new Covid fast-spreading variant hitting Australia in time for Christmas.

Breaking news … Water is wet. Jayden Moore

Why is it every time a new variant is discovered it is towards the end of year or early in the New Year?

Joan Zappala

Covid must be so deadly an Australian cricketer can have it and still play.

Cancelled flights, plane swaps, passenger chaos: What’s wrong at Jetstar?

Ten hours to get from Sydney to Cairns … 3 days to fly Perth to Cairns. When is something going to be actually done?

Cherie McKay

I will never fly with Jetstar again. Too many rearranged and cancelled flights.

Debbie Richardson

We’ve had our direct flight changed to go via Sydney to Bali now. Only found out about the change because we looked. Jetstar gave no notice of the change till we chased them. Shane Moon
