Message from the Queen inside baton; Charles and Camilla were to stay in Orstralia. Willy and Katie, will take the top job. Must go, need a new hat for Hazza and Meg’s shindig, and finish knitting the booties. Do write, Mummsy.

One thing that was really good about the good old days is when we had respected professionals making their own considered announcements at the Commonwealth Games and not a bunch of useless politicians trying to improve their political chances.

Why have council taken away poo bags from dog parks in and round Southport? Now we’re really in the sh... Deb.

Verns excellent letter regarding the hypocrisy of our politicians, and others, in the cricket saga, is 100% correct.

Hey “no name”, you say corporate tax cuts payback for political donations! What do you think about Union favours for donations? The Anti Socialist!!

I don’t know about the bongo drums down at Burleigh on weekend. But there was plenty of bongs going round.

Who are the people the Commonwealth Games are to represent? Not the Public only the so-called Elitists. Boomer.

If I’m reading it right, Bill Shorten is going to collect an additional $210 billion in tax or tax savings over the next ten years. My first thought was that he is going to eliminate surpluses and pay back a big chunk of debt but after reading further, he’s just going to spend the lot. What goes on inside our politicians? heads? Not much, obviously. GT.

So much for people riding bikes without helmets. I thought there was a fine attached. Qld Police how about doing something about it instead of just driving past? Mike.

Kyle Sandilands calling to lay off the abuse that his intern is getting. What a joke! Kyle, this is the what your victims feel when abused by you in your radio show. If you cannot take it, do not give it out!

Re: Plan your journey? I used the app to go from Helensvale to Sea World and it put me on the bus to Movie World. What idiot put Sea World beside Movie World on the apps map. A great help it is for visitors. Not.

If Phil Ruthven says household wealth average is over a million and individual net wealth is over $400,000 for nearly 10 million of us, explain to us why we have one off the biggest credit card debts. First home buyers struggle to get in the housing market, companies falling over every day. Tell us where he got his crystal ball. I’ll go buy one. I’ve worked for 50 years and never on the dole. I find I’m not even in the ball park.

Beware when bongo drums stop at Burleigh, bass guitar solo will start! Do not remember South Africa’s Faf du Plessis begging for forgiveness for ball tampering same as recently against Australia. Only work one way does it ? DJM.

I must say some of those bongo players are very good. Guess being on Centrelink does have advantages.

Completely agree with Verns, politicians & media are very hypocritical. Sid.

I agree with bluey from Mermaid. The law should be the same for all. And not go on skin colour. Stan. Tallebudgera

If I am sitting in A&E with a broken leg and Kate Jones comes in with a broken nail who gets seen first?

The sooner Peter Dutton becomes PM the better. So many areas need strong, commonsense leadership. Go Pete!

Old Crock said that food at citizenship ceremonies was all stale and bitter. I have attended many of these ceremonies and can assure her food is topclass Aussie fare and is made that day on the premises. BigDog. Carrara.

I am not an Annastacia Palaszczuk fan, nor did I vote for her , but I think it is disgraceful that she will not be speaking at the opening ceremony. She is our premier and as such should be giving the official welcome to all.

ACA Greg Dyer, to think that sledging in any game is acceptable is an absolute joke. In his day people never crossed a line with what derogatory comments to another player. That is not what sport is about! Clean up all sports and stop all means of dishonest play or cheating.

If Warren Mundine was PM and Peta Credlin was his deputy, this country would be the wealthiest in the world within 10 years.

So just woken to my wife’s car windscreen kicked in. Confronted the 12 youths with the police there and can’t touch them as under age now I have to pay insurance premium and their parents don’t even care. Is that fair?

Oh Ken what a beautiful letter going to the defence of our 3 cricketers showing you have compassion for them rather than condemning them like many GCB readers have. It takes far less energy to love than it takes to hate, and more rewarding too. Anna.
