When are security officers going to have the same powers as police? Not all, but just enough. We do almost the same job. JBC.

Very good, Marco Polo. A broom makes sense over a leaf blower, the worst invention ever. A hose with a good nozzle trigger is also excellent and the plants get watered too. Plus, the annoying magpies, ibis etc know who’s boss. Good thinkin’! Rev SF.

Let them eat McDonald’s. The more they eat, less time they’ll be here. Everyone wins, bad food makes bad people.

Katz don’t tell us, tell the cops. The road rules are you MUST use the outside lane for overtaking only and must return to inside lanes once safely completed. I have visited two police stations to report the ignorance of drivers and written to the Minister. Nothing has changed. The only good difference, the big truckies have gone. Pak

The BOM forecast 7 degrees for Coolangatta for Saturday but the temp was 4.8. And they would have us believe they can forecast the temp in 2050. No wonder people are climate sceptics. GT

So Karl Stefanovic doesn’t want the Logies on the Gold Coast, may be best he stay in Melbourne because he probably wouldn’t get his head through the doors anyway. M.

I agree with Reg, many of us are sick of hearing about the Royal Family and their wealth when there is so much poverty. We owe the Brits nothing, they owe us our independence to become a Republic. KenW.

Wow! “Beach Bliss” (Gold Coast Eye GCB 9/9) – what a beautiful setting for a wedding on South Stradbroke Island! Congrats Lino n Sarah! Ma

Correct me if I am wrong ... a 100km/h speed sign means that’s the limit, not the compulsory speed. Rocket

Sent my Granddaughter a Birthday Card, 10 days later she got it. Not bad as it had to go from Tweed to Brisbane. Such a long way. If this is the case with the same sex postal vote by the time we get our voting sorted the whole show will be over. Postal service is a joke.

KenW, Educate yourself regarding declining koalas due to loss of habitat and rainforest logging overseas, where all wildlife has been wiped out. What happens to your theory when all trees are gone? Chris

Read with interest the complaints about the referees at the Titans games. AFL fans are the same about the way the game is adjudicated. Basketball referees in our local comp are atrocious. And our judges are way too lenient. It appears the people we pay to make decisions in our life either can’t or won’t. BFF. Mad Rooster (09/09/17) Most gay people are not happy for the Government to spend all that money on a postal vote! Most of us would prefer that money was spent on health, education, homeless, domestic violence. It was Government choice to take that route! Pip

You can certainly tell people’s lack of breeding when eating out these days. I nearly got poked in the eye with a nearby diner’s fork the other day! Quit waving your eating utensils people – they are for eating with, not for gesticulating with! B M. Southport

Good on you Mr Turnbull – first you made a sweet deal with Kiwis so young Australians can’t get work and now another deal with Islanders – when is the election again?
