CHATROOM

When will someone look into how certain developers get away with building so many two and three-bedroom apartments with one car space?. Just look at the two developments near Harbour Town. One finished development already has cars all over the main street and the other one when completed will have over 700 cars flowing into the Harbour Town carpark because there is no street parking.

Find it quite amusing no big headlines when Aussies lose at the cricket. – Bacon boy

Will import coward puncher Caleb Maraku be deported or his citizenship revoked (whatever) for his hideous king hit, you bet not, the do-gooders might get upset. – Aussie boy

How are the cycling paramedics going to transfer the patient to hospital, over the handlebars or crossbar?

Peter Beattie jumped ship before December and now slagging off the Gold Coast. He is still chairman of GOLDOC, still getting handsome pay packet for job he’s not doing and bagging the Games and Gold Coast locals to boot!

Didn’t we learn from our past mistakes with Peter Beattie? Wouldn’t let him run a chook raffle!

Why hasn’t Anastasia-nevermy-fault, insisted that GOLDOC apologise for the pink bike debacle, as she so publicly requested last week? Oh yes, that’ll be Peter Beattie, we’ve got a lipstick wearing pigs chance then!

Well, suck it up and start riding your pushbike Beattie.

As usual Peter Beattie telling us to suck it up while he gets chauffeured around in a limousine using the express lanes. Typical ex-Labor selfish user. Have you noticed stubbies are getting smaller and the price is getting higher? –Nifty

Wrote to JP Langbroek about dangerous electric bikes and smoking on Surfers Esplanade and Cavill Mall. Reply. “Yes, it’s terrible” also same issue to Gary Baildon. No reply. How much do we pay these useless people we have elected?

Just went from Helensvale to Broadbeach South on the light rail. Fabulous! Well done, Gold Coast.

JK keep in mind when the previous Campbell Newman LNP Gov was in power he booted criminal bikies out of Qld. Then your mate Annastacia gave them the OK to return, now look at the crime rate out of control. Obviously you don't know much about politics. – KenW.

Even the cuteness of Borobi will not be enough to quell the wrath of locals on gridlock about to hit the GC! – Lisa

In view of the lenient sentences handed down by Judges Katherine McGuire’s and Bernadette Callaghan, O put forward the motion that female judges are banned until they toughen up. Joan Ashmore

Isn’t Australia the “Lucky Country”? We sure are, so please stop suggesting changes to so much we have here. The 1st Fleet arrived on Jan 26, 1788, therefore Happy Australia Day everyone.

OK Beattie on your bike let’s see how you fair instead of turning up in your government car. You’re the ones that gain not the everyday public who have to deal with the M1 daily chaos. Wouldn’t expect any other comment from you.

Why is it council fine you for using equipment prior to 7am but they allow it on their own sites? Hypocrisy at its best.

Please support Black Swan Lake as a healthy wildlife refuge in suburban Bundall and peaceful area for neighbouring horse stables. Don’t just stand by while the Turf Club turns it into a barren car parking lot. – Sylvia

Here they go again. Pampered new generation swimmers! They’re already making excuses already for not being able to win medals at B grade games. Oh so spoiled!

Great advertisement for the Comm Games visitors when the ferals of Southport are now entering restaurants and stealing scraps off plates before the diners have even left the building. Trust me it is going to be embarrassing. – Geoffrey

How come dogs have to be registered but cats don’t? Needs to change.

I must laugh when Peter Beattie telling GC citizens to “suck it up” during Comm Games when he will have no issues during Games getting helicopters, police escorts, staying at 5 star hotels on taxpayers’ money. – Dan

Hey Peter Beattie as you still haven’t got a major financial naming sponsor for the Comm Games. Maybe give Bernard Tomic a call, as he claims his got plenty of cash.

With all the negative publicity about the funeral industry could someone please answer the following question? If you are cremated do your loved ones get your ashes or a little bit of everyone’s ashes who were also cremated on that day? – Jake Southport

I believe the Gold Coast has the worst infrastructure in the county. Am I right? – Treeman
