Well done, Peter Dutton for sticking to his guns and ejecting Kiwi criminals back to their homeland. It’s about time, but it makes you wonder how they ever got into Australia in the first place.

The money for those Silver Ferns should be garnished out of every councillors pay. Fair dinkum, they’ve no idea. – The Sweeper

Why weren’t the anchor points for silver ferns not properly researched before approval? Has council ever heard the saying “cut your losses”? –Stevo

Did council consider selling the Silver Ferns to the NZ Air- port to welcome the Aussies? It’s a lot more appropriate & with a possible refund? – J

The Footie Show sacking of Fattie Vautin is a big mistake. Trying to win female viewers by having a female person as main host? Paul Vautin made the show what it is. – Queenie

The non-functional law system at it again. Drunken grub stabs pet dog to death in front of his distraught girlfriend and gets a three-month suspended sentence. Where does it end? – Rob

All rate payers about to be impacted by new 2 hour parking limits outside their residences should send council the bill for mowing their footpaths. At least it would cover any cost of a parking permit.

Sneaky council, grabbing free parking around GCUH. To zone in 2hr parking before GC Games, then leaving to gouge the locals when Games over. – Annoyed nurse

When I worked in Surfers, would have to walk to carpark at 10 or 11pm. With no carpark would have to catch tram then walk to car very late at night. Not worth working in Surfers!

The horrible wet windy weather we have had recently is making me homesick for New Zealand. – Ex Kiwi

Here we go again, Lisa not being paid as much as Karl. The reason’s not sexism – Karl does two more shows than her and by the way more female doctors and lawyers than men in Australia. Sexism?

Hand over Athletes Village to Housing Commission? In your dreams, would become the biggest ghetto on the GC.

The coach saga at the Titans sums up their ability to run an efficient club. Clubs in AFL and NRL have sacked and signed coaches in far less time and now are able to go forward into the pre-season. – Reggie

Titans merry-go-round continues. Is Titan short for Titanic? Some of their player/ coach signing decisions are like changing deck chair while band plays on. – Wayne

200,000 people expected at GC600 this year? My figures show last year’s official attendance was 68,000 based on ticket sales and accommodation bookings. Don’t believe the hype. Unless figures are embellished, the state government will stop giving the GC money. – Francis

Turnbull must be joking, at best $2 a week of our power bills. He certainly lives in a different world to the rest of us. – Rick

Whoever can show how to fix the traffic light sequencing will be the next Mayor. 50 minutes from Cooly to Southport at 10pm. Five sets of lights red, no reason at all! Hicksville.

I’ve been in a couple of stores which had bio-degradable bags for free. I’m sure people would pay 5 cents for those bags. – M
