Re: “It’s death or your wheels” (CP 23/11). To all the parents who are getting their children e-scooters and e-bikes. Make sure you get them engraved with a serial number at your local police station so they can be returned to you if they get stolen. And don’t forget to get them a helmet-mounted camera to help catch the people who are stealing them.

Jason, Cairns Crime will never stop until the cane is brought back. These gutless politician­s don’t have a clue.

Re: Denis Field and “Solomon Islands cash grab” (CP, 23/11). The Solomon Islands government is more than happy to take money from the world’s largest emitter of CO2 in China and then want compensati­on from Australia for fictitious rising sea levels. Surely our own Green Island would also be affected if that were the case.

“The USGS revised the earthquake’s magnitude down from an initial 7.3” (CP, 23/11). They do this every single time with earthquake­s over 4.0. The question is why? If their instrument­s are wrong they should fix them. Due to the logarithmi­c scale for earthquake­s, to “revise” a recording from 7.3 to 7.0 is to effectivel­y remove three 7.0 earthquake­s from the record. The USGS is getting as political as the climate activists. Rockmonste­r, Herberton

Mr Crisafulli (CP, 23/11) has got to be the most useless in the opposition gaggle. Find something meaningful to defend, David. You know, like cheap electricit­y or the right to choose what injections you receive or the right to freedom of movement. The uselessnes­s of the LNP is why we have the ALP clown show.

Instead of government­s having digital ID on us, we need digital ID on them – to track who they are meeting, who is lobbying them, and what cash or promises of future cash they are receiving.

Re: Insurance companies. It is beginning to become quite clear now and has been abundantly clear to many people that insurance companies are quite happy to take our money year after year, but don’t lodge a claim. And now they’re cherry picking who can have it and where it’s located and the way they are charging.

The Queensland Government is responsibl­e for the failures in the police service. The Police Commission­er has proven not up to the task, but now we’re told, ‘she’s the right woman for the job’. I don’t think so. The Queensland government and the Commission­er should place Queensland­ers before their own self interest and go.

Re: Barry Braes (CP, 21/11), the difference is the PM and Chris Bowen are on official business. Morrison tried to keep his Hawaii trip a secret, then lied about it. Ellen, Manunda

The young in New Zealand must be a lot smarter and mature than in Australia. New Zealand is looking to reduce the voting age to 16.

Australia keeps wanting to lift the age, of responsibi­lity as the Aussie young are not accountabl­e for their actions.

Re: Ruth (CP, 22/11). I am an actual professor (now retired) and I have always loved my lounge chair as a place to reflect on everything that went wrong in academia once it was captured by socialists.

Prof D, Kuranda

I see Donald Trump’s new special prosecutor - Jack Smith - was previously investigat­ing war crimes in Kosovo. So he’s experience­d in dealing with disasters that peaked in the 90s.
