How can Barnaby Joyce stay in parliament when he has lied to the PM, public and parliament by saying the PM knew nothing about the affair, and at the same time telling the PM that the affair is over. You don’t have to be a Rhodes scholar to see the lies from them both. JH

Oil drops 9 dollars in 8 days. Please stop ripping us off at the bowser. Disgusting. PM, Gold Coaster

I am sick of seeing Political Correctness (it is not) used to excuse this rubbish. Can we please get a suitable alternative as we did by changing king hit to coward's punch. Any ideas? Ozman

The M1 is not the problem. It's human error and the idiots that speed and chop and change lanes. Rubble

The new lights on Napper road turning into Arundel Drive need looking at and improving. I sat and waited for 4 sequences of lights before I was able to turn. Only 3 to 4 cars can get through at one time!! Massive line up of cars behind me. Paddy.

As the Mayoral chief of staff claims Black Swan lake is toxic because of stormwater run-off from nearby equestrian activity. Then why is he advocating filling in the lake? Surely if the lake is filled in then this toxic waste will find its way into local waterways and ultimately the Broadwater. Maybe the producers of this waste should be held to account along with the Council. Grey

Huge hypocrites attacking Barnaby Joyce. Marriage breakups everywhere. So mind your own business u heartless ghouls. Especially those pushing a mean political agenda.

a a drought stricken country in a heatwave ... criminal environmental vandalism. Bronny

Sick of reading about black swan lake from these pretend intelligent people. What about the thousands of homeless families and hungry kids in our country? Are they not worthy of a mention? Birds are survivors and can take care of themselves, children can’t. KenW.

We still need to use cars & there's only one main road between Bris & GC. A new multi lane road connection needs to go west, not east. Nerang, Canungra, Jimboomba, Browns Plains, Gateway.

Gold coast to Brizzo, ten min in a hyperloop. Our councils and governments can’t even build a highway. Can you imagine if they tried to tackle something like that. It would leak oil.

Break down constantly. Fly off the track and kill hundreds. They would spend years doing a feasibility study. Only the Europeans or Asians are intelligent enough to make that happen. Hey Ciobo, stop wasting our money and time on a futuristic dream inside your head. How much have you spent so far? The Mad Rooster

When are people going to realise the M1 traffic problems are mostly caused by impatient and irresponsible motorists, yes some fine tuning

at ON and OFF ramps is desperately needed, but motorists need to change driving attitudes, allow an extra 10 minutes drive time chill and don't stress. Rusty.

Isn't it nice to see the woman awake from her 6 yr coma from an alleged bum pinch by Barnaby Joyce. Must have been one hell of a pinch. T.Z

Druggies, the people of Southport dobbed in more drug pushers and criminals to crime stoppers than any other region in Qld last year. We have had a gut-full of you lot thieving and peddling poison onto our young ones. BE WARNED !!

In this day and age, extreme wealth, in any religion, is vulgar. If not used directly helping those in need, they should, as with any money making company, quite simply, be taxed. Queenie

Shehadie ... a huge loss for our game. No silly war dance or us sticking our tongues out here. Let’s simply remember what he did for the game of rugby.

Hyper loop. What a load of hyper poop! Ernie, Parkwood

Tourism minister Steve Ciobo is living in la la land if he thinks a super loop fast train is the answer to gridlock on the M1. Very few travel from CBD to CBD but mainly from suburbs to suburbs using the M1 and he knows it. Also it is not a financially viable option for such a short distance at the speed it travels unless it continues down to Sydney, and he knows that too. So forget your loopy ideas and build and widen more roads which the public pay for. Dominic

Overcrowded jail system. solution. cut back foreign aid. use the money to build more jails. will give people work ... put these reoffending juveniles to work on the same project. all round win situation ... kingi bob

Why does the overtly pc games have such a stereotypical ad? Male Tradie, male bus driver, male surfer/lifesaver and 3 'bouncy' women nurses? Just wondering!
