CHATROOM

The new amphitheatre in the cultural precinct is great concept. Sixty years ago the Myer Music Bowl in Melbourne had same protests and now is a world icon. – Schwarzy Just returned from Redcliffe this morning where petrol is $1.16 a litre. Why are we paying $1.35 here? – Lesley So cops tell us bikie numbers are down. Every weekend packs of up to 20 bikes with illegal exhausts continually running along old Burleigh Rd from Broadbeach to Surfers. Never a cop to be seen. – Peter The word around Paradise Point is if Verity is dumped for a blow in it’s Hello Pauline Hanson. – Bruce The Government is to blame for the drug problem getting out of hand when they decided to put a massive tax on alcohol. Drugs are cheap and easily accessible. – Treeman. Occupy Peace needs to come to the GC.we are in dire need of this movement. Peace and love to all. Overlook a $5 toll road fee and watch it escalate to thousands in fines and penalties. You will then learn how the towing companies have modelled their own legalised extortion rackets. – Malcolm Politicians and nappies should be changed often for the same reason. – Tomo I’m a Kiwi visiting the Gold Coast for the first time No wonder 60,000 Kiwis live here. It’s paradise. I’m going to join them I’ve had enough of NZ rugby and rain. Will Clive be successful in getting a disability pension? Quick! Book poor old Clive into a nursing home. He’s looking pretty sick and his memory fading fast. Help him while there is still hope. – HR The amount of ratepayers money being spent to leave legacies to our councillors is starting to get into serious numbers. We used to talk in $10s of millions but now we talk in $100s of millions. – G Robert S Buick re bank levy. $1.5 billion is 5% of $30 billion not 0.5%. I am glad you are not our treasurer. Please get facts right before waffling on. Our government dumb dumb and dumber. Stop selling our resources and buying them back so we have to pay more. Sick to death. Lee The national government must decriminalise marijuana. It will give people who need it for medicine a chance to live longer and with decency. RIP Australian TV (1956 to 2017) you used to be good. Ablett did OK with the Suns? Do you watch the footy? He carried the side for all the years he’s played there. How about the other players stand up for a change. Where’s their heart? People should be so thankful to Ablett not knocking him. It’s actually 960,005 Kiwis in Australia. I have been counting the silver fern stickers on cars. – The General Anyone else get shafted by Ticketek trying to buy tickets for Ed Sheeran or Bruno Mars? Hours on line only to be left with single seats when we only wanted two together. – Wog Just like the tow trucks the Gov. has to take big banks on to break their control of the public. These bullies have to be reined in quickly. – Zodiac Big Jim agree with u Peter Beattie (with help of Anna Bligh) sent Qld broke then Beattie left Aust. I wonder wot will happen after Games will he run off n leave Qld in debt?
