Am I missing something here? Why is there not a recycle cardboard skip next to the can and bottle recycle depot at Tweed City? They ask not to leave empty cartons so what are you supposed to do with them? 2 general waste wheelie bins really don’t cut it! Stevo

In the USA big company tax cuts have led to an amazing boost to the economy ... heaps more jobs and higher wages. But here Labour and other silly people oppose similar tax cuts. How dumb is that!

Why would anyone support a political party whose candidates knowingly flouted the citizenship rules and then stand again in by-elections caused by their own actions. Shorten for PM. I hope not. Ed, Mermaid

To No Name 27/7. So you think the moon landing was a Hoax eh? I Bet you still think the world is flat! Sinbad.

Great result for Susan Lamb in Longman by-election. Looking forward to Qld being an integral part of the Labor victory at the upcoming Federal election. Col H.

Turnbull: Re Super Saturday elections. I told you so – I will remind you. If you want to win the next election, raise the tax free threshold to $30,000 thus giving the battling peasants a much-needed tax cut to pay their mortgages and essential bills etc. Stop tax cutting the rich, who don’t need it to fund more of their cruises and overseas holidays etc.

So wonderful watching Lee Lin Chin on the news last night, and a beautiful farewell to her. She will be missed by thousands l am sure, bye bye Lee, Leigh the Cabbie

If you don’t have the skill to keep a restaurant going don’t start whingeing for red tape to cap the amount of restaurants on the GC. That’s being a sore loser. And it is against capitalism. Get your stuff together and make your business work next time! Kate

If solar power was viable, the drought stricken farmers would be harvesting and selling electricity. Johnbrew

GCC 13-year, $700 million road works plan. No money allocated to the intersection of Green Acre Dve and Napper Rd, Arundel. Lights desperately needed before Arundel Springs is fully built out. M, Parkwood

Too many restaurants in each suburb. The fact is that there is a distinct undersupply of top restaurants, especially in the northern suburbs. I could name one good Indian, one

Italian and one Vietnamese north of Southport that are worthy of revisiting ... and that’s it!

Qld Rail Fail - The state Labor gov has paid a team of “experts” $15 million to give advice on how to run Qld Rail. Are they kidding? All they need to so is get rid of the rail unions’ idiotic policy on hiring new drivers. ND

Titans win a game and the media have them in next year’s grand final. Good win anyway. mw

How good is that new song they’re playing on the radio every 5 min. ‘I am Greg, l am Bruce, l’m not scared to be Steve, this is me’. I love it. Dave

I watched the election results and I can’t understand why all these Liberal voters are backing the Turnbull Government, giving billions of taxpayers’ money to big business and banks, so the CEOs get millions and the rest of the people get very little. Pensioners who made this country great are not receiving enough to live without financial stress. Yet these young Libs are backing greed to the wealthy. Why? JW.

It is up to the Sudanese community to pull their head out of the sand and apply pressure on those ‘gangs’ of youth who do offend. Where are their parents and what are they doing about their rogue children? Charlie

If anyone from Suncorp is reading this ... please, enough with your awful ads! Saturation is an absolute turn-off ... which I do!

I’ve watched our Gold Coast football circus since the 80s, the Seagulls, the Giants, the Chargers, the Titans, the Bears and the Suns all crucified by southern greed. We should shy away from hierarchy, coaches and players from across the border.

Re our road works ahead, I will be dead by the time they do this. Forward planning is good but this should have been done years ago. KB, Benowa

What happened about proposed ferry stopping Paradise Point?

Turnbull will fail at next federal election unless he ditches the Paris climate change accord and fixes our woeful power supply crisis. And that means coal power plants! Please, less waffle and much more common sense.
