To all you Kiwis and your wise cracks boasting how good NZ is, yet not one Kiwi will give a good reason why they abandoned NZ to live here. Are they ashamed of their country?

Why doesn’t the heavy rail go past Varsity down to the airport and then on to Cooly? – Leigh the Cabbie

As the Kiwi boat skipper was an Aussie why did he need to join a Kiwi team in first place? Obviously Australia didn’t have a team of any skill or no one wealthy enough to put an Australian boat together. Go the Kiwis, well done for the most amazing race I have seen in some time. – Jenny I sent in a text refuting what was said about an Aussie winning the America’s Cup for NZ but now I see two more texts saying Aussies won it for NZ. – Nan

In Qld, a person riding a cycle is exempt from having to wear a helmet if they are a member of a religious group. You either have to wear a helmet or you do not. The bureaucrats who introduced this insanity say helmets save lives. So what are they saying about the safety of turbans and burqas?

Lots of things are popular, John Witheriff, like beer and chocolate. Popularity of the tram with the handful of locals that use it doesn’t justify the huge cost. – JK

To you dills who believe a highway left lane is the inside lane should not have a drivers licence, you are a danger to other road users. – Doug 43 yrs driving semi trailers.

What’s with the gates being locked all day Saturday on the Spit? Big weekend for tourists and the access to the Spit closed!?

JPM, I work at the Oasis Shopping Centre and the shopping trolleys wheels there lock automatically when off the premises. All centres should have this. – JBC.

Can someone tell me why NZ never plays within the rules like our Wallabies? Bring on Sydney. Kiwis ... you fortunately won a Test so not to get too embarrassed in your lack of defence against this outstanding touring team, it’s worth remembering even our mighty Wallabies lost 2 Tests given Kurtley took a fall … no excuses though.

Another silly war dance stupidly sticking their tongues out and another flogging.

Excuses, excuses, excuses. If NZ or at least Sonny Bill Williams played within the rules then I would not have to comment on such blatant thuggery. – Noel

Can someone give the Kiwis some tissues? They lost at the rugby again.

Greenies, just stop complaining about our climate change contributions. It’s nothing compared to the 1800 volcanoes and what they blow out daily. – Ron

Re: cricket pay dispute-why meet in the Hilton? Isn’t the dispute all about money? – Garrison

I doubt Christopher Pyne would have blurted out his same sex marriage sooner rather than later comments if they weren’t the express views of Malcolm. – GT

Re: Coles TV ad. 700g eggs are not extra large they are large. 800g extra large. More advertising hype.

Please ensure Xiao Wen appointed as GC Tourism Ambassador to boost Chinese visitors sees our wildlife sanctuary Black Swan Lake before it is bulldozed into a carpark.
