In reply to Chatroom comment about Supercar drivers popping painkillers while competing. How do you know what they were popping – they are racing car drivers not footballers?! – Bok.

The failure of state and federal govts to stop landclearing/ killing is a disgrace. – LP

Everyone condemns cyclist holding onto the car for a free ride. Cyclists wins as he is unidentifiable and knows it. Maybe the car should have just changed lanes or slowed right down to detach the cyclist.

BOM can you explain why it’s 32C at Coolangatta and only 26C at The Spit? A year ago it was the opposite. – Terry

Barry, so you’re saying motorcycle riders are not allowed to use green cycle lanes and ride up the inside of a line of stationary vehicles between them and the curb to filter to the front (they do this often and to hell with cyclists in the lane). Check out Southport Nerang Rd and Olsen Av at peak travel times. – Fred.

Will polygamists sue for compensation if not also given marriage equality? Will LGBTIQs support their cause? Sauce for the goose? SSM looks like a slippery slope to me. – Bip Had a tradie notice I was on phone at motel in West Wyalong last week & warn me he was about to start his loud car. The height of courtesy, should be more of it. – Nig

Cyclists should be charged for a 10-year rego so they can be identified & penalised like everyone else for their selfish acts. This money then goes to help cyclist accident victims. – Trafficman

Malcolm Y, too late most people have already replied to the survey and my best bet is that the Yes vote will prevail by around 60/40 which is a win for commonsense over bigotry. – Harry I would suggest Cr Paul Taylor keep his toys and ideas in his cot. Suggesting an outdoor people mover in Broadbeach! How hideous and ill-thought out. Lost my vote. – D James.

Who in their right mind would buy an electric car given the state of our power supply?

The easiest way to save power in Queensland is to introduce daylight saving immediately. Every home in Qld turn their lights on 1 hour later everyday. The power saving will be enormous. – JP

I see local pollies will be urged to dob each other in. I can see Peter Young rubbing his hands together with glee already. – Dave

Here we go again. 1st it was pool blankets that don’t work then pool fencing that only works if someone is watching. Now Palaszczuk government going to send the aircon police. What’s next are they going to have above ground burials to save earth worms? – The Guru

A night mayor, we already have dramas with day mayor. We don’t need extra drama.

A pedestrian overpass would cost less, our fat society need all the help they can get, good exercise and less cost to the community all round. – Ocky

Peter Dutton bring the refugees to Australia then resign and hand yourself in to the Court of The Hague.

Nobody is above the law, that includes you Barnaby. What doesn’t your mouthpiece understand about that? – Hallo
