Anybody unsure of what's in store for Burleigh, take a drive along Queen St in Southport. Once a beautiful street, with shady trees showing off the classic Queensland­ers. Now just a glare of concrete and overhead tram cables. I didn't recognise it. So very, very sad.

Re Robina decoration­s, they have them as shells on Christmas trees. Disgusted. – Ma

$1500 a week on welfare what a disgrace. My wife works full time in aged care and is paid $1400 a fortnight. No wonder some people on welfare don’t want to find a job.

Australia’s sporting dominance over Kiwis and Poms is verging on embarrassi­ng What has happened to these countries? – Aussie fan

Like a breath of fresh air, Deb Frecklingt­on has burst into the spotlight as the new LNP leader. How refreshing her positive attitude and passion to find solutions to real issues.

If LNP had replaced Tim with Deb prior to the election, they would have romped home!

Titans new ownership is off to a good start. Problem is their operation still flounders couldn't even get the team bus over the hills to their Toowoomba camp. Are we looking at an "old dog with a few new fleas"? Too soon to tell.

Failed school, don’t want to work, think you are self entitled? Apply for a job with Qld Labor and join gravy train!

Heidi Strbak shock reaction of still believing she has done no wrong is shocking and unbelievab­le. Until she understand­s this parole shouldn't be an option. Be it 4, 10 or 50 years!

Congrats GCCC on the Spit face lift but no toilets which I suppose will be coming out of the ground at the press of a button. – Doug

Zodiac, I agree. Unbelievab­le that we have Trad in the Treasury position. Wouldn’t go to an accountant with no knowledge or qualificat­ions, so why/ how are we letting her loose with our hard-earned money?

Merry Xmas & Happy New Year we now have the world’s largest foreign owned coal pit in our backyard. – Mick

Agree with Bill (19/12) can’t see any benefit continuing the light rail down to Burleigh then the airport. The southern end dosen’t need it unless they want it to look like the north with its 50 storey highrises all the way to Coolangatt­a. – The DOMinater

through, Bali deserve whatever is thrown at them. Talk about dumb and dumber!

We have just learned Black Swan Lake and surroundin­g bushland would qualify for protection under the new Coastal Wetland Legislatio­n being brought in early next year by the Commonweal­th Minister for the Environmen­t. Nice timing Tom and your mates. You take paradise and put in a parking lot.

Who sets the price for petrol? Who are they employed by? Why can’t we know? Let’s start demanding answers!

Without being the Christmas Grinch … could people please be a little more mindful of the doctors, nurses, ambos, fire fighters, police, bakers, printers and all the other people who work nights or shift work. Whilst you and/or the kids may be on holiday, they are trying to sleep. Please tone it down. Oh, Merry Christmas.

As Carrara residents, we approve of the theme park proposal. Much rather that than low cost housing full of ferals! Most will use train anyhow. New leader of LNP attacking Labor Minister. When will politician­s learn? Attack their policies not the person. This is why some people are turning away from mainstream parties. Not good start. – The Wiz

What next?! Now the pathetic younger generation­s are blaming Facebook for making them feel bad and doctors aren’t allowed to hurt their feelings by saying fat or obese. Oh, the poor little diddums …

What a Grinch Aust Post is. The only time there are a lot of stamps on envelopes some Grinch scribbles though them with biro making them worthless to collectors. It includes stamps already postmarked. Not happy. – Robina

I’m so happy the Logan and Beenleigh youth gangs now have a straight run to Surfers Paradise because of the tram. They even steal your guard dog. Thank you State Government. – Beth

I reckon the lack of Christmas decoration­s is coming from fear that these areas may attract attention from terrorists. That means they win because disrupting the way we live is high on their wish list.

#MeToo. There are despicable people in all sections of society, for example; sexist, racist, elitist, ageist etc. I am sure there are many, many others. Take responsibi­lity for yourself, life is a jungle.

I remember when Newman got in and all the LNP followers texted in and said decision has been made get used to it. Pity they can’t judging by the anti-Labor and anti-SSM texts they keep sending in.
