I presume they chopped the trees down to widen the M1, but why do it without any barriers until they are ready to do it? If someone loses control and causes a head-on collision blame the government for their stupidity, especially if a fatality happens.

Kate Jones, Ms Palaszczuk, local taxpayers have every right to hire a taxpayerowned venue to view an informative factual movie, not a hate preacher, or violent content! Just allowing parents to view the movie & have a say in their own children’s health to make their own intelligent decisions! Labor get out of our private lives. Dell, Gold Coast They never learn. GC600 concert organisers chasing fickle young people again with a bunch of no names. The concerts are only popular when the acts suit the demographic. Play to your audience! Mk

If GC residents think things are tight now wait until after the Comm Games when the bills need paying. Ron R. Bay

Annastacia Palaszczuk will go into the history books as Qld's most useless Premier remembered for her famous (2) word line “what crime” as criminal bikie gangs made a successful comeback and again claiming they own the Gold Coast. KenW. Our State Government is blaming Cyclone Debbie for the current loss of business confidence. Yeah, right. How about the hiring of more and more public servants and a lack of infrastructure spending for a start? GT

Took us two years to apply for our now 14 year old daughter to get Malta citizenship. We thought it would be an advantage for her to travel and work in the EU. She is an awesome kid. Alas she cannot run for senate in the future. A dumb rule. Our country will miss out on awesome leaders for now and the future. This controversy now I am sure is a diversion of the real topics.

Not allowed to advertise smoking (not a smoker by the way). Can’t promote pokies. Can’t promote drink specials or happy hours? Why multiple choice betting allowed? Stevo are ads

To Proud Aussie, True Blue and Noel ! Get over yourselves. You’re all like scratched records banging on about Kiwis. Stop boring us, the Kiwis I know are all nice friendly people and I have Aussie family happily living in NZ.

Man goes into Gold Coast hospital for hip replacement and gets staff infection has to have his leg amputated and it’s so high up on the leg he can’t even wear a prosthetic ... what the!

Glenn, fully agree the Hinze Dam, which was once a fabulous place for families to go to, now total waste, no shade, no facilities at all. Believe it when you see it. The LNP has stated that they will introduce speed camera warning signage when the mobile speed vehicles are in use. For a start, you might stop them hiding behind sound barriers on the M1.

Proud Aussie: After 43 years living in Canberra I moved to the GC in 2012. Light rail to Burleigh will “kill” that region. My sympathies are with the Burleigh community, for what awaits you. Zam

We can spend nearly $14 million on pumping sand but cannot give workers a just pay rise? PJD

I’m a Mum and would love to have coffee with Chris Bloomfield. Met him few years ago, I believe in giving these young ones a second go at life. Debbie
