Corporate tax cuts proposed by the LNP federal government are nothing less than payback for political election donations for their corporate box mates Trust me

editorial in Saturday’s was brilliant. It was a combination of logic and common sense. The Wiz.

There is a smell of conflict of interest lingering in the offices of Treasury and Finance

I think those cricketing questions will be answered when the highest media offer has been made. Barney

To the dog who punched my son in Saturday night, you

coward broadbeach I’ll find

What a bad joke! Race based sentences for indigenous. What’s next? Bluey mermaid

I agree with ken and bluey the old digger complaining about the lousy giving public housing preference to immigrants rather than australians, I am an old digger and I am sorry I fought for this country the way they treat us, my wife and I are in our late 60s and have been on the public housing waiting list for over 7 years. Charlie - Fay

Premier just crash the opening ceremony on behalf of all of us! Pitbull

What PR stunt the Warner interview was. And why would you have your PR person there.

Seems everyone’s claiming its their fault. Even the Games mascot was seen crying mumbling it was his fault regarding the cricket.

I’m not surprised Candice and Roxy are friends. As they have something in common. Both their husbands are proven cheats. Not one runner in the baton relay is an average aussie mum or dad who just takes care of their kids. No hero just a member of the public. The same public they want to support their games. In 82 most runners were just members of the public. Sad

If the governments were any good throughout the world they’d not have the social problems we have, so what this means blind leading the blind, these buggers don’t care, one last sale, that feels better, when will it stop!!!.

Are Warners lining up for a magazine deal, photo shoot, TV etc. they should just go away quietly like the other two and stop digging. Dot.

Unlike today’s tablets the 2 original ones came with 10 rules to abide by for a better

life, pity choice came with them thus the real mess we all find ourselves in today. Doug

These games are going to be wonderful.

This world’ s going nuts. Somethings not right? hey? us a break, our blokes only scratched the cricket ball footballers get off more lightly for using drugs and domestic violence. We should be giving these young men our support for only making a silly mistake. KenW.

If the NRL players kicked the ball more vertical and higher on the 5th tackle, this would put a lot more intense pressure on the opposing players trying to catch the ball and knockons by the opposing players would be much more rife. No Brainer.

Even Cooktown now has visiting cruise ships. Shame on u Annastacia, for pulling the plug on ours, just to get the greenie vote.

I hope when the Englishman Prince Charles in opening our Commonwealth Games acknowledges the displaced indigenous owners of the land. Grey

The Pell outcome will be another “white wash” just like the “cheating cricketers” & everything else in this country. It’s a bloody disgrace. Old Codja, GC

Syringe found at Games village. God help us if they find sandpaper. Doug

Good to see gold coasters finally embracing the games. It’s costing each of us thousands of dollars a day in taxpayer money so we may as well enjoy it. - Phil

Regards to ball tampering. Remember its only a rort if your not in on it. mw

Aussie cricketers suffered trial by media. Nothing said about how Candice Warner was assaulted verbally by both Sth. African cricketers and the spectators. Sonny Bill Williams masks and taunting of her and her kids was just not cricket.

Joan. If it’s anything like the Citizenship Ceremony, there will B stale Vegemite sandwiches, even more stale pies & even more stale lamingtons on offer. How bloody embarrassing. Old Crock

Obviously peter beattie gets these gigs terry because he applies for them or is encouraged to take up these positions - at least he’s havin a crack!

With the cricketers remember the ICC gave them a 2 match penalty each. Aust penalty extremely harsh. An appeal may put it in prospective. Rod, Ashmore
