Brain-dead spokesman for the Palaszczuk Government, talking about truck fire on M1: “Very significant and rare incident” – those “rare” incidents happen every week. Get your facts right, better still – grow some brains!

Anna obviously doesn’t understand trade is a two-way thing and if you stop buying from them they will probably stop buying from you. KJ.

Beattie keeps telling us how he has got the M1 congestion sorted out for the Commonwealth Games so why doesn’t he bring it into play now? I’ll tell you why, because he hasn’t got a clue. Beattie has messed up on every overpaid job that has been handed to him on a golden platter for the last two decades. He used to be known as the media tart, but you don’t see his head in the news now it’s all about to go pear-shaped. Time to go Beattie. The Worker

What a spectacle. White knuckle tension sweaty palms high drama sudden manoeuvres heart pumping moments all in the course of the truck fire wow bring on the Games!!! Doug

Macdonald’s has lost its way. Over-priced junk food that takes way too long. Served by rude little kids. People will always have an affinity for the country they were born in whether they hold dual citizenship or not. Barney

Old codja pull your head in. There would be no Australia without the people coming here fed up with their cold and disappointing countries. Where did your folk come from any way. I take it you aren’t a true blue aborigine. Grannie annie

I’ve been trying to recall, is there a group or an individual in Australia that Bill Shorten hasn’t made an election promise to? GT

Tom says Bruce Bishop car park is under-utilised. Why doesn’t he make the construction tradies park there and catch the tram? That would solve three problems in one go. It’s a better idea than a pop up dunny

To no name. Re. Business sense. I run a business. Employ staff. I can’t see how a new casino and CST can be a negative. I can see tourist dollars rolling in all year round. J Breadmore.

Cold and Bored ex Kiwi, for sure you will never be cold on the Gold Coast and with your hundreds of fellow countrymen here I am sure they will relieve your boredom. How unpatriotic NZ well rid of you. SM

I know how to make this country prosper again. Get our governments best chemists to tinker with some chemicals and get some high potency ice on the streets. Think about it. Crime rates down. Hospitals freed up. Social welfare payments down. Far greater percentage of good population. Funeral homes doing a booming trade. It’s a win, win, win. The Mad Rooster

Contributor asks ‘how gay people getting married is going to affect the rest of us?’ This SSM push is just the thin edge of the wedge. How long before child marriage is sought (it happens overseas), polygamy, (that happens too). And don’t DARE say anything against it or you will be up for discrimination. John Mc

Wonder how those drivers stuck on the M1 feel about the koalas now after the greenies blocked ex premier Goss’s plans for a second highway 20 years ago! Need one now!!! Trafficman
