It’s getting a whole lot harder to pick between Malcolm Turnbull and Bill Shorten, they both talk a lot but don’t actually say much. – GT

Gold Coast drivers suck. Don’t indicate, cut u off, can’t merge, on phone when driving. When no one behind you they jump in front of you. Go NSW. – Non-redneck state

To Rob, your comment about McGregor meeting Mayweather in a dark alley is pathetic. U r probably one of those morons that think a coward punch is OK. – PH

What’s the deal with police around here, why do they have to be so rude? Almost come off as bullies, unless they are on TV, of course.

We are a cattle country and the abattoir is closing. Disgusting, stop live export. Create coops for meat, supply and processing for Australians, by Australians with our beautiful Australian cattle.

When do politicians stop making laws that protect the criminals beyond measure against the victim’s rights n the community’s interest?

Gold Coast men can’t handle their liquor. Just look at the Monday paper every week to see amount and severity of assaults over the weekend. Man up. If you can’t have a drink without bashing someone to death then you probably have a problem. – GW

When Kiwis talk about “sport”, what they mean is “rugby union”. – Dave

Watching TV lately I was reminded of the nursery rhyme Mary Had a Little Lamb as everywhere Graham Annesley went Daryl Kelly was sure to follow. – ex-Titan

Pokie bandit took some back, maybe it’s karma! – OCKY

How quick labor is to bag a fast train system. All they seem to do is put fixes on ‘now problems’ with no vision of the future. Your train system is a disgrace. VOTER ELANORA So we have a brewery sponsoring the Games. OMG wait and see those holier than thou start waving banners in protest. – Barney

A Sikh is allowed to enter school grounds with a ceremonial dagger on display because his religion allows him to (GCB, 30/8). If that was one of us who had a sword or knife dangling from our belt the place would be in lockdown.

So it’s not OK for a pensioner to keep his assistance dog in his retirement village, but it is OK for a dad to carry a sword into a Qld school? – Louise

Do we follow Australian law and values or does Sikh religion over rule both? For goodness sake. The world has gone mad! When do one person’s rights outweigh the majority? – KB SSM has anyone asked the question how much will it cost to change Marriage Act. This is how GST was introduced softly softly. Beware and vote No. – Citizen Jayne

To answer Pete Leis criticism of Trevor Long’s call to remove the Nets during whale migration and replace them with drumlines, there is a formula that equates how many drumlines are needed to have an equally efficient catch rate per meter for public safety.

Australia Post CEO payout... ‘He deserves millions because of changes he made’ according to another from Australia Post. Disgraceful. A successful and busy Nerang Post Office got closed down after 30 years of operation. To post a letter costs double now. So tragic. TH
