Do not let Tom Tate fool you with his fake numbers; the $108 mill on roads is not new spending it is there each year under the name of roads & rehab funding. – Digger

If wholesale petrol is at its cheapest every fuel station charging extortiona­te prices is ripping off Queensland­ers. Government needs to step in.

The Federal Government wants new immigrants to have level 6 English standards which is apparently University Level English. Given what we hear about standards at Uni’s these days, it appears the new standard will be somewhere just above kindergart­en. – GT Listen ppl. From August 1 trucks must stay out of inside lane only (fast lane). They are free to travel in the other two or three lanes available.

To Glyn. You are so right. If an engineer doesn’t know what the outside lane is what chance in getting the M1 fixed. Could you just imagine the meetings? They would be arguing all the time what lane is what. – CFI

Hey Lee it’s also called the inside lane because that’s where you get in. The left hand lane has always been the inside lane. – Bob

Re: NZ sporting heritage … you mean lack of. They have one horn to blow and at the moment the British and Irish Lions are stuffing that horn (completely) out. Go Lions.

Wallabies have a new sponsor Canola: softer than butter! – Disgusted Aussie Bob

Titans are where they are because of lack of retainment. Look back, to many players going on to star in other teams. Lost Chris McQueen already this season and could lose Nathan Peats after he stars in another Origin?

Hope the Kiwis have more respect for the British and lrish lions now... bring on the test.

To James P. McGuire: The England rugby team is coached by an Australian. – Grey who punched the defenceles­s 71-year-old on the bus has a grandfathe­r? In the event he does maybe he could teach him what respect stands for. His parents have obviously failed him miserably. – Henry

Labor all for unions, corruption and illegal immigrants, blocking again any changes to the immigratio­n law. You got to wonder who is voting for those nutters!

Ken W it is not the Annastacia Gov putting on the firearms amnesty it is the Turnbull gov in Canberra. – Ric the Grocer

Giving $70 million to the refugees will only encourage more people to come. When they go home they will tell people get on a boat and you will be set up for life. Australia loves to give us money.

Cyclist trying to break world record ran the traffic lights. Did anyone not miss the video? Another cyclist not following traffic rules!

The only good thing about the Commonweal­th Games is there will be housing crises for the next 12 months. That might stop more Mexicans coming here to live! – Pete

There was Clive Palmer, a month ago seemingly at death’s door and now here he is cruising in the Med. He probably can’t sleep too well though – for laughing! – Don

Why is commercial TV so boring? Nothing but ads and brain dead reality shows that make me feel nauseous. – Reg
