Old Jack. Be careful that the bank doesn't cause you to get a black mark against your credit rating. Barney

Barry C. is bang on with the ‘clean energy’ hype, that the squeaky ‘new-out-of-uni’ Labor and Greenies love to enthral about, being unreliable, unsustainable and unaffordable. They the, ‘still wet behind the ears’, cheerleaders of such, believe the hype given to them, in air-conditioned lecture rooms, by the same unwashed minorities, who sat there before them, as fact. It’s not. It’s rot! Let’s use our resources, let’s build more coal power stations. Let’s cut out the hype and face facts!

So is this awesome experience Optus are going to give us during the Games, going to remain in operation after the Games?

Hey Dave at Currumbin. Nobody would read about women’s AFL, in any newspaper. Why do they deserve recognition? They’re playing the game because they want to play it. Women’s footy is just another ploy for the AFL to boost their already huge income. Same as the AFLX.

Steve Minnikin. You conveniently left out the part about all the non-compliant trains you bought for the current government. And you did nothing about the M1 when in government. Jk

Can someone please explain to me in easy language, why is it more ‘green’ to let another country dig up our coal, ship through the Great Barrier Reef in leaky ships after dumping their ‘dirty ballast water’ in our pristine waters, to their own country, then burn in old power stations. Than for us to use?

Every city, in every country has NEVER made money from any of the Commonwealth Games or Olympics being held in their City. Mega structures are left in ruin. Cities go broke repaying debt for decades. That’s the legacy we’ll have. Thankyou Peter Beattie. NOT!

M1 speed limit to be lowered, it’s already at a snails pace, this Comm Games is becoming a nightmare well before it begins. The public are asking, how will we cope stuck in a heatwave for hours with kids on board if there are multiple accidents? KenW.

Elon Musk should be charged with littering, just another ton of garbage now floating around in space.

What a joke. Get off your iPhone and fat bums and teach your children to be safe around water and how to swim. It is not the government job. If you can’t teach your children to be safe, DON’T have them. Jk

I wonder how many of the 400,000 jobs created, went to the 300,000 immigrants a YEAR we have coming in.

Why does Miss Julia Gillard think that she can help with education worldwide? She sent Australian education backwards, it’s still going south after 10 years of her useless policies. NAPLAN, Gonski anyone?

Beattie and Goldoc might have to suck it up, if locals want to leave the Coast for the disruptive Comm games!!!

Too much Bernard Tomic bashing by the media, isn’t that bullying?

30 billion wiped from Australian shares. Now just watch how companies use this as a means of either cutting back staff or ramping up costs. Old Crock, Maudsland Judging by the opening paragraph in the page two article (GCB 7/1) about Black Swan Lake means that it’s a foregone conclusion that it is going to be filled in. So much for the legalities, the ACCC investigation, ratepayers. They continue to push the lie that Australia is a democracy – that’s a joke. Old Codja, GC

Zam, you are too kind. You read many more. I think the wisdom is in knowing what, and when, to put ones moniker/s to. - ‘chuffed’ Queenie

Old broken plastic pegs are a massive health hazard to our oceans, especially plankton filtering whales. They should be banned immediately. Buy the wooden ones. No Brainer

I read that retail spending slipped by 0.5 per cent in December 2017, down to 26.2 billion. Wunda how much of this was on tick? Old Codja

So, ‘closet tree hugger’ Shorten thinks his treasury is going to be rolling in so much money if he becomes PM that he won't need the billions of Adani coal royalties for hospitals, pensions, roads, fast rail etc. This ‘clean coal’ mine is expected to deliver, over the next 30 yrs. Rod Riguez

Why do they keep telling us it’s going to be the best yet?! Hotels only at 66% booked, thousands of tickets unsold. Taxes and rates sky high for years to come.

Peter Dutton should be our next PM. A former policeman, he has all the non PC qualities to guide Australia back to the real world of commonsense values and caring for the suffering silent majority.
