CHATROOM

How stupid, Sunland wants to build a shopping centre in the vicinity of Pacific Fair and Q Store. There are enough empty shops everywhere. Stop wasting money and give a bigger dividend to shareholders. —Zodiac

Re coal pit. The LNP is giving the foreign owners 1 billion to take overseas and make profit. No wonder no money for m1. Only for LNP donators. – JK

With no plans or business case the fed LNP was going to put $500 million towards M1. Bet they renege and have excuses for not giving it now LNP lost Ald election. But they are giving Indian company $1 billon to make profits off our resources. Go figure.

Hey Aussie fan, it’s Xmas time for family, friends, good times and great Aussie weather. And you just want to sledge Kiwis and Poms about being better at sport. Ha, ha, ha winner all right.

Stolen cars being dumped and torched at Pizzey Park, has GCCC thought of putting a heavy chain and lock across the entrance at night or would that be too difficult?

I think we need a royal commission to look at the politicians. Just imagine what they would find!

Would much rather have the Darwin as a dive site than a cruise ship site for the Gold Coast. Surely the upkeep costs on a dive site would have to be lower than the other option? Tourists would hopefully stay for longer as well. – Fred

In more than 70 Christmasses I am yet to hear any one sing Happy birthday, Jesus. – Nev.K

I can’t believe Mr Tate wants to sell Bishop car park in Surfers. There are not enough car parks as it is now. I suppose nobody will go there anymore. Makes u wonder what these council people are thinking sometimes.

Once again our spineless government and media blame drugs & mental health issues for another Muslim attack on innocent people.

Once again we see another celebration damaged by alcohol. It is destroying people’s lives and yet it is promoted as essential to your life. That’s dumb. Time to wake up to the fact that it’s destroying lives not improving life. – JJ

Even Santa didn’t show up in Surfers. The crims set bear traps under their chimneys, eating their Chiko Rolls and wait. The place is full of ice junkies and crack heads

armed to the teeth. Someone fix this place. – Susan

I hope the thief who stole my son’s Makita Tools from Pacific Pines has the worst luck and Karma from now on. What kind of trashy lowlife steals from an apprentice trying to make a living? Thieves should work for what they want instead of becoming a cancer on society. Australia got hammered at Montreal 1976. We did something about it, that’s why we are so successful today. Keep whinging Kiwis. – Noel

Tash Amstad. Re baby Violet. Our family’s been thru rough times. God gives us strength to cope, church friends great ongoing support. –Ma

Our sporting prowess stems from our depth in all sports and a few letters – AIS. Go Aussies.

Why don’t Village Roadshow executives get out of their plush office chairs and promote their own theme parks like most other businesses do? – Barney

Rugby union, rugby league, netball, hockey, soccer, cricket. Maybe just maybe Kiwis have learned for 2018. Years ago I bought a remote control interceptor. When pointed at the TV it negated all remote commands. Package noted “not responsible for marital discord”.

Shezz, go to the sales and buy yourself a nice big telly for your use only.

Who were the idiots who came up with the idea of unisex toilets in the first place? This entire world used separate men’s and women’s toilets for centuries. If women don’t want to sit on drops of men’s urine, then complain to your local MP. – KenW

These clowns that move into suburban areas and build their castles among beach houses need to go elsewhere. You aren’t welcome with your views and fat wallets; just trash with money. To the Visiting Kiwi, Australia actually only has half its population to pick from for sport The other half are Kiwis who have given up on their own country and have chosen to live here. – A real Aussie

Jetski & tinny owners at Runaway Bay canals. Do you realise how much wash you create? Look behind you sometimes. Six knots is just over idle. Slow down. – DB

Drove from GC to Bundaberg on Christmas Eve. Did not see one cop car on that 500 kilometre notoriously dangerous stretch of high fatality road. Just sot good enough, Annastacia. Another crippled speeding car victim.

Just watched the highlights of 2017 sport on the ABC. So apparently there were only five of them. – BigDog Carrara
