What a shame that Turkey has refused a request from Australia to extradite alleged terrorist Neil Prakash. It seems the only people who wanted him back here were our politicians. Most Australians would cringe at the thought of him spreading his brand of terrorism inside our prison system. GT

The Bulletin’s article on private health missed the point. It’s not just the policy payments people find hard to meet. If you actually do have to use private health it’s being able to afford the gap/out-of-pocket payment accounts that follow. Recent hospital procedure, I received pathology bill for $800 and my health fund won’t cover it. What’s the point of having it?

What happened to freedom of speech in our country? And when are we going to listen, or be allowed to listen to people from other countries whose views don’t go down well with the green, lefty, feminist, man-hating, multiculturalist etc who have taken over our media? Lauren Southern raises some very valid issues if you get to listen or read them. True.

These orange bikes must now be classified as litter. Most of the “litter” is being offered for “littering” without helmets. Can you imagine a car rental co offering half its fleet for hire without seat belts? Trusting the council to poll us if we want this litter here or not.

What a result for the Suns to knock over the Swans, and on the SCG. Hopefully this can be a line in the sand moment. PK

I’m an employer and as of Monday l will be stopping all my staff from having smoke breaks. l am fed up with nonsmokers doing all the work when these people are outside. If they have to smoke while working … dock their pay. Patricia re Candyman going for mayor – I hope your scope of unsuitable mayoral candidates includes the following: those who sell alcohol, sugar, for a living, developers and ex politicians.

Donald Trump speaks with a forked tongue. He says one thing and then lies about it in the next breath. At least Obama was a pacifist and was an honest President. Trump is an idiot and, at least Obama didn’t get his degree from Kindy. Charlie

In reply to the Friday Chatroom – Trump narcissistic supporter, Obama has more class than peabrain Donald Trump.

Phyllis. I’m glad I don’t intend to sell any Gold Coast property anytime soon, with fools like you spreading such baseless

misinformation You sound like a real estate agent looking for listings. M. Robina.

The more I witness America’s politics the more sorry I feel for its people. Hate, lies, distortions, absurd claims are rife. Rest of the world is either shocked or laughing or both. Let the terrorist rot in Turkish jail. If he comes back here he’ll be well fed and protected. Ours are too soft. Bm

Surprise, surprise, the Broncos have another TV game. Surely there are other teams in the comp. LB

Ricky Stewart don’t hold back. The Refs are a disgrace.

Let me see if I’ve got this right. Malcolm loses a lot of skin trying to get his personal tax cuts through the Parliament and then … nothing. Did he forget about them, not a word, not a peep. Any other politician would be out there bragging about them every chance they got. It would appear that Malcolm can’t pat his head and rub his belly at the same time. GT Seems the ABC has caught the ‘fake news’ virus. Anything to do with Trump is biased, twisted, or just downright dishonest.

The cowards tormenting the poor 97-year-old war veteran should be hoping that the cops get them before the exvets do. Patriot

Once and for all … it should be called “climate change” not “global warming”. Of course it is colder in winter, just rug up.

Ding ding ding, if child abusers and criminals are considered as being of good character what does that say about the people who made these decisions!

Dave is correct. The private, mobile phone-demented addicts waste far more employer’s time in both inattention and no concentration than a smoker’s break and even do not see waiting customers due to their selfish mindless obsession. Sack them. JC, Burleigh

Hey Damo. whales aren’t stupid fish … they’re stupid mammals … d.a.luig.

Just imagine the millions that would be out of work if the entire world was at peace. Barney

My lovely checkout girl at Woolworths asked “have you got your own bag”? “How many times a day do you have to say that,” I asked? Rolls her eyes and shrugs. “All the time,” she says. So I thank her for her politeness and helpfulness, while muttering about lazy consumers and unintelligent Australia. BM, Southport.
