BEATTIE must take that PC garbage out of the handbook or leave town now. Just an absolute disgrace and belittling the volunteers who should resign if this persists. Ozman.

Notice people constantly running red lights! Even saw a police vehicle close by as they ran a red light. Perhaps police fail to understand road rules?? Charlie.

Re: The big bash – isn’t that Mark Waugh a whining gnarly nit picker.

When did we all become so precious? We all walk on eggshells to avoid hurt feelings, creating anxieties. Once again, the minority PC brigade dictating to the majority. Stop this world, I want to get off! kamora.

If these gangs in Victoria are old enough to do the crime they are old enough to be deported they don’t respect the opportunit­y this country though everything is given to them on a plate and we have many homeless people of our own that are not given what are when the come to this country. PD.

In reply to the suggestion about lifesaving flags being changed to green for safe and red for not, there is no “safe” part of the beach regardless of whether there is a patrol or not. People need to stop being so precious and swim in between the flags or be prepared to risk their lives. The ocean is not a toy and people need to remember that.

Fancy that! Domayne advertisin­g a desk with “pull-out drawers!” Wow! What will they think of next?

Political correctnes­s we are being told to use the word folks. Now that is a word Kevin Rudd used and that only made us go backwards. Rocket.

Who do I direct my disgust, horror and badly dented ego, to? I’ve just been referred to as a “partner”, “folks”, then being directed to an “accessible” toilet!! I’m his “wife”, and our trio of “ladies” required a disability toilet!

Please please, don’t say, “roll this way” to someone in a wheelchair or using a wheelie walker, not funny.

No, no, no, no! I will not be referred to as a “partner”. I am a “wife”, and I have a “husband”. I love my wonderful husband dearly, and proudly wear my gold wedding band. Mrs, not Ms. He’s my everything, not a business partner, nor someone I picked up last weekend!

Sunday morning, reading the jokes in the paper. This one took a lot of explaining; “what do you call an elephant in a phone box?’, Answer, “stuck”! Just try to explain a phone box!

Mr Marika’s, co-founder of Yothu Yindi, comment that “Australia is Aboriginal land and when you don’t respect Australia you don’t respect Aboriginal people”. After hearing of the African youth gangs antics in Melbourne - wise words. Look out.

Political Correctnes­s not for me I am an aussie. I am not changing for any dumb idea # Graeme.

Well may we say God save the queen because noththing can save Malcolm Turnbull.

Oh, by the way a happy new year to all the service station companies who kept their prices at around $1.40 for the festive period, especially when oil prices per barrel were not too dear. Bring on electric cars. Bistro Bob.

With his own words Donald Trump has just proven that he is a megalomani­ac. Lizzie.

Gee, for 100k each, those new council water bubblers, err hydration units would want to dispense lemon, lime and bitters. GT.

If our Immigratio­n Minster can deport 160 bikers for breaking the law, then he needs to start deporting African law breakers.

Three people died of old age yesterday waiting in the queue for food at the new Kurrawa. Even then you can’t get a garden salad. Big problems yet to be fixed. Bert.

Gold Coast Gender fashion idiots is the only way to describe Gold Coast Comm Game organisers. Remember you are presenting only male and female medals at the games. Dan.

Re: Child Care workers demanding pay increase by 60 per cent. Watch thousands of working mothers quitting jobs and go on taxpayer-paid holidays. Of course, braindead Labor and corrupt unions right behind this silly idea!

Counting down to the Gridlock games on the Gold Coast. What a message we’ll send to other nations when their athletes are no-shows because they are stuck in a car at Labrador. Together we’ll show the world. Ben.

Have the Socceroos got a new coach yet for the world cup squad or don’t they care about the fans and players.

Queenie queenie have read a lot of your articles maybe one must practise what one preaches. Aussie Jim.

Bespoke, must be one of the most overused words around!
