Of course there are lower accidents on the M1. The traffic hardly moves! Bureaucrat PR. -Marco Polo

Let’s see how can we get more money from ratepayers? I know let’s charge them up to A2500.00 if they don't bring their wheelie bins in off the kerb. Real stink idea. Doug.

Four words: Dirty Cheats! Life Bans!

Smith the cheat. It makes me wonder if didn’t do the same during the Ashes game but not detected. I wouldn’t be in the least surprised. James P McGuire

It's true that money doesn’t fix everything, but I’d rather cry in a Ferrari than a Holden! Lostboy. Jamie

Why waste tax payers money to replace lights instead a walk way 2 Metricon. It will serve as billboard u would have less money 2 build an will be better value. nicoff

Clive Palmer cocks a snook at us all. Big business always wins in the end.

The screeching of trams through surfers not a good look for the Games. So come on G Link get that oil can out and do something.

MKR should be taken off the air. How can we teach our kids not to bully when shows such as this exist?? Get rid of those fools ...... Justice

The test cricket leadership group all need to be sacked, and never be allowed to play for Australia again. They all need to bear the cost of their decision and how they have tarnished, if not destroyed, Australia’s sporting image in all sports not just cricket. Yes, we will lose the next few years of tests but we will start a new era of clean players with no negative baggage. I’m embarrassed to say I’m an Ozzie!!! David, Mermaid Beach

Having zero interest in any sport whatsoever (we exist, and are many!), all I’ve heard about the cricket ball issue, is that Aussies cheat! Not good news, one week out from the games. And, I don’t even care about it!

All the kerfuffle about transgender in the military and transgender weightlifters, has the world gone mad. AaaaaH

What a pleasure it is to watch New Zealand playing cricket against the poms. No sledging or cheating like the Aussies.

The coalition government is supposed to protect taxpayers money. To fight for the generosity of the wealthy is not the

right thing to do, they should not be giving tax returns to those who don’t even pay tax is absurd, yet they continue to defend that wastage. TS.

Who gives a hoot! It’s just a game boys, settle down!

There are too many people running red arrow turning left into Salerno street at upgraded intersection on Isle of Capri – cars come flying around corner into traffic with green arrow turning right into Salerno street.

Something needs to be done before another accident happens. Local resident.

In the event rain spoils the GC Games how are security going to police the no umbrellas rule. Doug

Glenno House prices are falling, look around sell now... banks are tightening up lending ... those making money on producing nothing have to wake up !!!! Pete

I agree the renovation at the roundabout between the casino & convention centre is beautiful. So was the tall hottie building it. He can pluck my petals anytime. Rosie

A little more than a week to go Council for you to remove the horrible ads off our otherwise great-looking trams so that all our thousands of visitors can see clearly our beautiful city. At least get them off the windows. Please! LW

Malcolm Turnbull, who stabbed his captain in the back, is moralising about the Australian cricket captain? (?) I don’t recall Smith stabbing Michael Clarke in the back to become captain, Malcolm. It might be best if you just shut up & try running the country. Bruce, Murwillumbah

Turnbull, wake up . If u want to win the next election, give the long-suffering peasants a tax cut, by upping the tax free thresh-hold to 25,000 ... rather than lowering the company rate.

Ban the Paddle Pop Lion ...never. Can we just have something nice to eat every now and then without being dictated to by the food police? Don

Glenno People will always come to the coast holding the games or not, it’s common knowledge that holding a big sporting event only gives ratepayers a big debt to pay back. That’s why countries with half a brain don’t put their hands up to host. JJ

Aussies are poor sportspeople. Nothing surprises me. Watch the Commonwealth Games. SAS
