Bush turkeys are environmental vandals responsible for rock slides at Burleigh hill by digging around the boulders and causing dangerous slides. They should be all rounded up and taken way out in the bush where they belong.

Old timer’s recipe for brush turkeys. Gut and clean bird. Place rock in stomach. Boil for 3 hrs. Remove and discard the bird, season and salt the rock – Palmyboy

Shopping centres should have a designated parking area for big 4-wheel drive vehicles that look like tractors. When parked next to them it’s dangerous reversing cos you can’t see any traffic coming. – Sam Varsity.

Greek government employed so many people just to keep them happy running up a deficit they could never pay back. Not hard to see the direction Qld is heading. – Don

Oh Simon you've got it wrong, it's the LNP who rob the poor and give to the rich. If the LNP looked after workers better we wouldn't need the ALP and Unions. – Bush basher

One Nation popularity slipping. But why couldn’t I vote for One Nation in Nerang? Conspiracy?

If it wasn't for the millions brought into the Gold Coast economy the schoolies circus would have been banned years ago & parents letting their vulnerable kids go to it are putting their kids’ lives at risk.

How sad to see our schoolies next generation working over time to destroy themselves. Wake up kids. – A

The M 1 gridlock farce is a result of poor planning decisions of various councils who have used the highway as a major arterial road for their burgeoning residential developments within their local government areas rather than building their own roads to handle population growth. – Trust me

One way to fix the M1 congestion, make it a toll road. The funds raised would soon pay for a bypass.

Voting guidelines are not democratic with compulsory preferential voting. Why should I be made to give One Nation any position on my ballot paper?

Ciobo the white paper just released is the equivalent of a one thousand sheet one-ply roll of toilet paper.

The trick to $150 electricity bills is to have led lights, use ceiling fans, energy efficient appliances, off peak water and in our case just nine solar panels.

A dose of common sense too which is clearly lacking in Woodleigh’s case. – Grey

Why huge deal with violence against women? Shouldn't it be violence against anyone? – The Mad Rooster Re this dual citizenship drama, why haven't past politicians with dual citizenship been named and their taxpayer funded retirement packages revoked? – KenW

When it all boils down we all have dual nationalities except the Aboriginals. – N

Woke up Saturday morning feeling groovy. Closer I got to the polling booth an overwhelming feeling of nausea got stronger and stronger. – D.A

Great to see our Mayor home from hospital. Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy 2018. – HG

To be a citizen you must pass a exam. If you put yourself up for election then you should pass an exam on the constitution before you can stand for election. – Doug If Labor get in it will be the same same same which means nothing for anyone.

Who located Runaway Bay voting booth, miles from public transport and wrong address? God help public cause none of our candidates will. – Ron

Major parties painted with same brush just different colors & voters are waking up.

I got up early and my wife packed me a lovely lunch. My son said it’s Saturday, dad are you working? I said, no son, I'm going to vote but I have to use the M1.

It would appear being polite is not taught to police while at their academy; arrogance of some of them is unbelievable.

Very few people understand the preferential voting system. But all understand the stupidity of electing officials who win by receiving fewer votes. – Paul

Malcolm, how does it feel to be dying the death of a thousand cuts? Tony does seem to be enjoying himself. – Rambo

I said weeks ago that if Tim Nichols wanted to appeal to more voters then he should get a personality transplant. Looks like I was on the money. Nice fella but no leader. – GT

This Schoolies thing needs to stop … all they do is drink, take drugs and cause damage.

Just watched this morning on TV, someone promoting new healthy craze which grows good bacteria in our gut. It’s called kambucha. Well sorry folks it’s not new! We were using the stuff over 50 years ago. – Burleigh Pensioner
