Maybe the reason visitors numbers are down is other countries are listening to Tourism Australia and holidaying at home. – Barney

Broncos v Cowboys final. Can’t wait. All the Sydney teams have choked hard.

To the person who said the No campaigners should stop abusing gay people. It is the other way around. The rent a crowd louts are on the Yes side. Look at all the reports but not from the ABC. – Daryl

It’s time to cancel all disabled parking passes and have true disabled people reapply, so to get rid of all the fakes. Mr Ciobo, no point blaming the tourism decline at CEO when people won’t come here because everyone knows it is the drug ice mecca of Australia. If you can fix that maybe the figures will improve. – Geoffrey

Changed mobile phone company on Friday. Expected arrival of new SIM card in a week, arrived Tuesday, well done Australia Post. – Paddy

Six months to go to the Commonwealth Games and we have the GCCC Mayor and his deputy engaging with developers with suspicious election donations. That isn’t a good look on the world stage come April 2018. – GC Citizen Tom and Donna time to go get out of our city before you both destroy it. – Waz

What sort of a nitwit in public office would make a statement like that. It’s easy to see where this Deputy Mayor’s interests lie. Certainly not the beauty of the Gold Coast or the concerns of its citizens.

Banning ABC journalists from a press conference Tom Tate has turned the GCCC into the White House. Stop shooting the messenger Tom. – Sharon

Typical of one-eyed, leftie ABC, trying to destroy hardfought for GC tourism industry/brand, with the GC Games only 200 days away and 200,000 tickets still on sale.

What happens to all the surplus donations not spent on elections? Do councillors get to spend this on themselves? – Redneck

Not everyone will be pleased those deep holes caused by drain covers at Smith St-Kumbari intersection have been evened up. I reckon the sales of shock obsorbers will drop now.

Neil at Currumbin: most drivers don’t stop at the stop sign at Old Coach Rd and Talle Creek Rd anyway as I go that way every afternoon and I actually stop. – GB, Currumbin

Re: Jesse Derrick suspension, just because QAFL was threatened with legal action they drop verdict. Will this set a precedent for future? If this happened in the AFL, he would have got 3-4 weeks, good record or not. – Macka Reading about hostel for young criminals. If magistrates gave harsher sentences they might not commit crimes in first place. – Annoyed

Wow petrol down a whole 6 cents even thou it’s double what it should be only to go back up 16 cents next week. Absolute joke. – Wog

Stats claim 11% of population are LBGTs and 20% have a disability. Let’s spend $100 million helping 20% minority. Perhaps we could also buy some commonsense. – Lee

The facts about what the Greens call Black Swan Lake is it is a man-made stagnant pond. The swans and other birds are quite happy to swim in the canals which are about 5m away and I am not a turf club member. – Simon
