I am at the beach markets near Byron. About 90 per cent of market shoppers are not wearing a hat … and unbelievab­ly, only 50 per cent of the over 60s, who should know better.

What an awesome effort by both the men and women on winning the Rugby League World Cups for Australia. Congrats. – Ex Kiwi

The main reason why the footy grand finals are always held in Sydney and Melbourne is because they have the larger stadiums. In the NRLs case you can blame the former Beattie government for refurbishi­ng Suncorp stadium instead of building a new one at Bowen Hills with an 80,000 capacity.

Goodbye Jarryd Hayne, see you next year when we flog the Blues in the State of Origin series again. – KenW

A Kiwi workmate has seen his ABs play 3 times. They have not won any. He now loves watching Australia’s domination of world sport. – Sport Lover

Thanks Cooper for all the memories! You have been all class on and off the field. – HR

OK, so times have changed. So, if I ever again, see an older woman touch a young man “inappropri­ately”, I’m reporting her to the police. – Dave

Hey Kiwis Eleven Rugby League World Cups. You can only dream of it.

So proud of our mighty Jillaroos. The Kiwis’ haka doesn’t scare anyone. The Kiwis were so battered they couldn't even stand for the presentati­on. – Proud Aussie

Poor Kiwis, even lost the basketball.

Kiwis, cry me a river. Please don’t keep bringing up All Blacks – us Aussies are too busy winning World Cups to care. Anyway we beat them last too.

I wouldn’t want to be a Pom or Kiwi right now. They have been made to look ordinary by the Aussies. – True Blue.

What is the point of a weather forecaster? They tell me it’s going to rain on Christmas Day yet they can’t get tomorrow’s weather right. What an absolute waste of taxpayers’ money.

It’s the toughest job in the world being a Kiwi sports fan Its one disaster after the other. – Ex Kiwi

Class action for the 2011 floods against the Queensland Government. Wonder if Anna Blight will be here to face the music? Don’t also forget the Allconex and Queensland

Health debacle and many bogans voted this useless Labor back in!

Who would have thought – junkies and jet skis!

These people complainin­g about load of motor bikes and 4WDs parked in their spots really should get a life. The police will take care of both of these items if they are illegal. Try

worrying about children not having enough to eat or DV against women or important matters. – Lance

Can we not dump all the politician­s and start again?

That’s right, no name, about the INXS bloke. I suppose all the groupies and hangers on are there for tea and tiddlywink­s too. Women cause so much rubbish then get all guilty later on. Grow up and take a look at yourself. – G

To those who believes in Christ, happy birthday. To those who believes in Santa, Merry Christmas. – VIP

In regards to moving the clubs to Southport or Bundall, just a thought what if all the clubs got together and took over the old Masters building in Bundall divided it up into a number of clubs? Easy to control and security etc. – PK

Is there any sport we Aussies are not good at? World Cups in rugby union, rugby league, hocky, netball. Looks like we are more envied than ever.

Mike, in regards to roundabout­s, you are part of the problem not the solution. Round abouts are designed to speed up traffic flow not slow it down, otherwise it would be a stop or give way sign.

Barnaby Joyce got elected because he is Barnaby Joyce. Malcolm Turnball had nothing to do with the outcome. – Barney

Why is the Aussie word of the year part of a WA business name? If they had googled the word they would have found that Google keeps on changing the u to an i.

Nobody else seems to know about “eye stalk ablation” on prawns, or are they just turning a blind eye (excuse pun) Shezz

Sure, Burleigh will never be the same after the tram. But I can’t wait to see what it turns into a thriving little metropolis. – Hipstervil­le.
