Total waste of time to keep on talking to smiling tinnie hoons. First offence a warning second time confiscate the boat permanently. Barney

Hey now you know. It us the same for the mermaid beach/ hedges ave people that want a CST at spit but no high rises in their area.

I don't think we need Malcolm Turnbull to set the moral standards of the nation. The Cayman Islands is a well known tax haven which is legal, so is sex between consenting adults. All the National Party members are country people, they bred them tough out there, and will not be treated like a mongrel dog. Malcolm's news conference had more to do with shoring up his own support in his party room. Malcolm should learn how to talk to someone face-to-face, not behind their back, no one likes that. In the bush someone's word is their bond, pity that behaviour is not the standard in parliament. Anthony

Keith Woods if you haven't been roughed up by the police or even been in the watch house how can you make an informed comment. Have you forgotten about the Sgt Rick Flori incident because I'd say that sort of thing happens all the time. Tree hugger

Yes, there is something in the Bible about stone throwing but God wrote Thou shalt not commit adultery. Who's right? Poida.

Why can't GCUH nurses & staff be shuttled from parking at nearby sports fields eg at Sharks or Parkwood Sharks? Schools are on holidays, so use nearby Musgrave Hill or Arundel school ovals. Howard Farthing, Nerang

Distressing images circulating of live wildlife floundering and trapped in mud at BSL. Tate disgusts me. GC Local

If Annastacia directed the same devotion and loyalty to the public as she does to the greens and the unions, we could proudly refer to Qld as the smart state, rather than known as the backward state under a Labor Gov. Angry Qlder.

Saw a police van turn right from Queen St Southport onto GC Hwy a couple of days ago and a police car take M1 northbound Oxenford off ramp yesterday and neither of them used their indicators. If I do that I cop 2 demerits and $75 fine.

I feel so sorry for my fellow gold coasters who have to change their lives for a whole 2 weeks for the games, instead of whining about this and that, why not embrace it

for the honour of having it here? Glenno

Tom Tate wrote yesterday on Facebook that Black Swan Lake is toxic and there are only Tilapia Fish in it. Tilapia cannot live in toxic water. A baby duck and eel were witnessed

being smothered today, 21/02/18. It's a National disgrace. Bronny Baker

What a wonderful young Lady Montana is for rescuing Knox, she is a credit to the human race, God bless you darling, Margaret Those evil multinationals. Just had cheese toasty and flat white for brekky for $2. Hungry Jacks also does same deal for seniors over 55.

2 million for lights! You idiots

Our traffic problems would be minimised if we implemented a black hole, not a black spot, program as some people think they are at the centre of the universe but in reality they are just exceedingly dense p **** s.

Having just spent over an hour trying to book tickets to an event at the Commonwealth Games, I have given up in disgust. The design of the app with its black on black type is illegible. I also spent a further hour on hold on the phone. Very, very disappointing.

Lois McCulloch raised the issue of the ultimate betrayal of the sisterhood; another lady's husband is off limits. Etiquette and manners ... are the forgotten values. Just my thoughts added.

We need on the Gold Coast a designated, drug and alcohol hospital. To free up our main hospital for people who are ill, sick, and need operations. Glyn

It concerns me during the Comm Games police response to a call from the public will be hours regardless of the report. Dan

Of course overcrowded passengers lining up to board flights spill into restaurants and dining areas at the Gold Coast Airport. It’s because there are no departure lounges in what is essentially a glorified food hall. Db
