ON A recent Sunday any enjoyment of flying was jettisoned forever at the barn masquerading as the Gold Coast Airport.
With the biggest show on earth coming ever closer to the Gold Coast one can only hope those visiting have a smoother time than we did on that recent Sunday.

MEDIA reporting more that 100 motorists a month are having their licences cancelled permanently due to health concerns – these are oldies who have had a perfect driving record.
Why are high range drink-drug drivers licences not being cancelled permanently?
We don’t see oldies hooning, tailgating and road raging like these booze and drug fuelled idiots.

CONGRATULATIONS to Rick Flori for continuing his stand against corruption in the ALP run police service by moving on to represent the public’s views.
The election of Trump heralded a change in the how people view politics, now in New Zealand a minor party will have the balance of power in their Parliament.
With a looming election in Queensland, the ALP and LNP are struggling to find answers to minor party candidates and independents who are confirming the views of the voters. The Gold Coast has just become a very interesting situation in the way Queensland will be shaped with Mr Flori facing the fence sitter from the LNP, One Nation’s Brenden Ball facing the LNP’s fly-in political golden boy, and myself facing two other career politicians from the ALP and LNP who have no life experience.
Watch this space, Queensland.

LEADING space and aeronautic engineer Aude Vignelles must be dreaming about Australia’s ability to enter into the satellite and space industry.
Many other countries have achieved awe-inspiring results from spectacular engineering marvels such as reclaiming one of the world’s busiest airport from the ocean or bringing water and cities into the driest desert.
Australia, meanwhile, has been stuck in a rut of small-minded thinking, unexplainable social and environmental ideology and indigenous and minority rights.
Australia would have trouble building rafts let alone submarines.
The uproar andnegative criticisms and doubt against a fast rail covering our large distances, linking our cities with cheaper and more efficient transport is only one of the prime examples of this mentality embedded in this society.
Australians’ legendary ingenuity novel thinkingand brilliant aspirations have greatly declined.
They have been consciously obstructed over the years by our political leaders hell bent on dumbing down Australia and promoting a one-class mediocre society.
Too late, Ms Vignelles! How about more female, indigenous or genderless representations in our non-existent space industry?
