The GC show, what a delight. Overpriced, overrated, everyone coughing, militant mums, whining brats, carneys who smell like cabbage and beer bellied dads whose dreams have died. And I'm convinced after a nuclear war the dagwood dog is the only thing that survives. Can I have my Friday back? - Errol

Making Tony Abbott responsible for Indigenous Affairs is like making the head of the Ku Klux Klan responsible for the distribution of funds from the Martin Luther King jnr Association RAMBO

Hey Tom. Before you build your Cruise ship terminal and your Casino why don’t you do something for the ordinary people? Synchronise your 19th century traffic lights. RAMBO

Joe Greenwood just got the MOM for Wigan against St. Helens. Shame Garth Brennan couldn't see what a fine player Joe is, preferring lame duck Bryce Cartwright.

There is a reason why some restaurants close and others have been around for a very long time. If you are providing consistently good food at realistic prices with good service you will attract customers. Oh and don't live the high life when your business is not making that much money.

Great council - caravans are to go who knows where so u can give the city another casino for gambling. What foresight u have -NOT. Can't wait for election time. What will happen to those who visit in holiday parks? Further inland away from the beach? U are hazed by developer money

Thank you for the amazing new venue for the Gold Coast show this year! What a beautiful view of the Broadwater while walking through the show ground! Atmosphere electric and so many smiling faces! I arrived at 9.00am with my grandson & stayed for 7 1/2 hrs and we enjoyed every minute, so thank you Gold Coast. Therese James.

Ok Ken we know your comment re alfalfa sprouts was posted to annoy people who prefer salads and veg. But there is room for meat lovers as well. A balanced diet should include more veg than meat. LS

Jarrod Harbrow is finally being recognised as the champion footballer he has always been. AFL supporter

David, these banks are not a charity and when their costs rise they have to pass it on. You will also benefit from their profits in your super, you

sound like a socialist. JS

So Suncorp have closed more branches and laid off 100 workers. Surely if they stopped showing these pathetic ads on t.v. with this Suncorp girl none of this would have happened. Love to know how much it’s costing them. Paul.

Unbelievable that someone would suggest that McDonalds don't do enough to deter their customers from littering, it's hardly McDonalds fault if their customers are filthy grubs. Woodleigh

Peter Beattie - please do not stress out about your reputation being tarnished by the closing ceremony, your reputation was well and truly in tatters before that. Woodleigh

Regarding rubbish on Foxwell Rd just collect a heap of Maccas paper and plastic and dump it on their floor, it belongs to them if it's got their name on it OCKY! of US flag on the Moon in latest Hollywood movie is absolute lunacy. Rewriting history by loony left just another example of their dismal dishonesty and refusal to acknowledge America's greatness. These radicals should return to their country of origin and learn to appreciate the US from a dirty ditch where democracy and political freedoms do not exist.

Aboriginal artefacts owned by non-aboriginals should be returned to them, Give some of their culture back. Their history is scattered all over the world. A job for Tony.

The farmers’ kids will be the next generation of very resilient ppl that'll go on to do great things in Aust. They breed these kids tough out there, no childhood really, helping at 4/5 to do chores before school. Town kids have it easier, too much freedom, too much idle time on their hands & temptation.

For years watching NRL (my favourite code of football) I just keep saying pass it to the wings they can fly. But no, they try and go through the middle to be tackled by the big players. More team work. R. R.

To all those who favour a bus to the airport rather than a tram, the problem with a bus is they are confusing as there are so many going to different places all over the city. At least with a tram it is one line one tram taking you to your hotel or destination. Percy the Place Punter

At Last! A trophy that Jarryd Hayne truly deserves. A Big Wooden Spoon. Stir up a deal with that. If you can. ND.
