Those guys that attacked brock on the M1. Should be put in stock in town square so we can all throw rotten fruit at them. Stan Tallebudgera

To all winging about why immigrants should be allowed into country. The new generation coming out of schools won’t do menial work ie. cleaning toilets etc as it is beneath them and they expect to walk into a job earning 1000s straight away instead of working up to it. Jk

Charlie and Camilla coming to the CG - that's OK but no mention of the massive staff they require with them like all other notables that leave or enter this country. Barney

Simon - If the GC is such a horrible place, why is it Australias fastest growing city, and attracts 10 million tourists every year?

It beggars belief a man convicted of a 3 month crime rampage culminating in high speed car chases in NSW and QLD in stolen cars in 2016 only got 5yrs and will get parole in March. He also had 14 prior convictions for similar offences. There lies the reason for soaring crime rate. Robert

So, freezing UK is a better place to live than the GC is it Simon?

The reason why the govt let in so many immigrants is to push down wages. So if you want a job you have to compete with them to get less. Capitalism at its best.

M1 stampede from Brisbane to Tweed Heads has to stop. Why don’t they lower the speed limit to 80 per hour all the way?

If the blokes who bashed Brock are kiwis, islanders or poms they’ll be shown the door and rightly so. If they're from the Middle East they'll get a slap on the wrist and no more will be said.

I dont know how lowering a speed limit will ease traffic congestion. If the same amount of Traffic gets on the M1 at point A, but takes longer to get to point B, mathematics tells me congestion will be worse. Don’t need to be Einstein to understand that. We have total dimwits in charge people. The Mad Rooster

The mischievous, nimby, anti-jobs, ANTI-EVERYTHING, serial, leftie, depressing, doomsday halfwits, always ‘talking down’ the GC, obviously don’t own real estate here.

Even Borobi's not showing up to the commonwealth gardens.

Still not too late to cancel. And we can still save face before the whole ten people who watch the games. - Bernie

Rugby league is a truly great game and continues to evolve. Unfortunately, most of its inward-looking administrators of the past, have not tried hard enough to internationalise the game. eg. If u want China, India, Japan or the pacific islands to become worthy combatants to our locals, RL administrators must invest in overseas RL school coaching programs NOW, as the late, great, RL state of origin founder, Ron McAuliffe would certainly have done.

Two great stories in the Bully. Nurse with 50 years service. What a legend and aboriginal girl becoming a commercial pilot. Great stuff. Justin

Thank you Simon Yelland of England for Your Views letter 28/2. My sentiments exactly! This council is adding to environmental disasters of the past - our Gold Coast is rapidly losing its natural environment! Another Waikiki - only pigeons left! DAD

Commonwealth Games involve so much expense, inconvenience and general hoo haa. Pity I and many others don’t give a hoot.

I can honestly say I’m so glad even though I work in the trade industry I DON’T work for builders. The subbies get burned way too much that the government has to change the rules. JJ

I have noticed in the last few days speed camera trailers have been placed along the M1 no doubt getting ready for the new lower speed limit. KINGSTUMPY

Should we expect the wonderful waft of putrid air from the treatment plant at Carrara to be on full display for the commonwealth games? I’m sure this is a great draw card for our future tourists!

Southport library renovations very impressive but this week's newspapers and magazines moved upstairs. Elevator out of order, I have severe emphysema. I was bereft. Please bring newspapers back downstairs. R. Corbel

Not only is rubbish fill being dumped into BSL but pumps are working overtime draining the rainwater which filled the lake in past few days. Shame, shame, shame on you GCCC.

Anyone else received their parking permits to find the edge gets stuck to the paper so they don't stick for long or at all? Wog
