Is it any surprise that the Government can’t govern when all Labor & Greens keep going on about everything but the Government’s policies. If Labor get in power again I hope Libs find out what Labor & Greens have got hidden away.

Police have cancelled a bloke's licence and he has been fined $800 for undue noise as no muffler was fitted to his car. About time to attack bloody noisy Harleys. OCKY

A message to the law makers of Australia and all judges, an American who has been found guilty of hit and run causing death has been handed a 28-year sentence, time to get fair dinkem in Aus! OCKY

When where sharks allowed to rule the world? Kill the biters, as we do with dogs. Lookout.

Dee. … Maybe you can go get private health insurance and go to John Flynn or Pindara Hospital if it’s such a problem to you. Yes people have private health cover hoping to have choice but are left with huge bills if they go to a private hospital. I have private cover so I don’t have to go on a huge waiting list if I need elective surgery but if I needed emergency treatment and was admitted to a public hospital with no out of pocket expenses … damn straight I’d take it – it’s my right as a tax payer. Fellow taxpayer

Once again a council has crumbled to the wish of the minority mob. Australia Day is for all Australian­s. The French and Americans would never bow to these soft headed mobs. Aussie and proud of it.

Well done, girls. Really making your point. Latest epidemic sweeping the country is singledom. Loneliness. Couples aren’t getting together or staying together. And they wonder “where have all the good men gone”. They’re at the pub with their mates. W/ends they fish or play golf etc. Anything, rather than put up with your childish spite. Go hate some other poor bloke. #utoo

Will the Wrecker, it is so nice to hear that there are still some nice young ladies around to help our seniors in their hour of need. I hope they are still around when I get to that age. Anthony

Watched US political scene on TV. What a dysfunctio­nal way to run such a rich and powerful country. We can count our blessings.

The reason why people, despite having private health insurance, choose public hospitals is because going private

means being thousands of dollars out of pocket. So sometimes depends how sick I am I go public. Rosi Shenko

As a volunteer at Swell it was disappoint­ing to read Paul Weston’s piece. Why question a creative and evolving endeavour? Many visitors have enjoyed and showed their support of the sculptures over the past week. The logistics and time spent to organise Swell are massive. It is innovative, a great asset for Currumbin and should be supported by council and residents. PK, Currumbin

Agree with Best Text (GCB 22/9). We live in a beautiful world but unfortunat­ely we are bombarded with negatives every day. The paper and news is full of what has happened in courts and what crimes have been committed. We need to shift our focus and report more on the good things and the media should lead the way. Lee

I see that 3 sharks have been killed as payback for the 2 attacks on swimmers but wait, these were not just any sharks they were “killer sharks” and probably not the ones that attacked the swimmers either. The point is that we have got our revenge and the problem has been solved and all the shark haters and other simple-minded types are happy. Woodleigh

I trust that travel bans for people who owe the Government money extend to the likes of Clive Palmer who allegedly owes millions, remove his passport. Chopper

Why can’t we catch and kill crooks, they are more of a danger to humanity than a poor shark. Kev, Helensvale.

I can’t believe there were 5000 empty seats at the preliminar­y final at the MCG when 50,000 fans couldn’t get tickets. It doesn’t make sense. The AFL needs to fix this problem once and for all by having all AFL and MCC members pay and collect their tickets at least 3 days before a finals game is played otherwise they are up for grabs to anyone the very next day. How hard is that to implement? The Dominator

They can’t be serious even to think about wiping out Slater … it was simply stopping a try. There are shoulder charges in general play that are far worse than that and players have gotten away with it … Bistro Bob

As reported, more than one million people die every year from alcohol. Imagine if they died from a disease or from motor accidents, all hell would be attributed to the causes. And yet the biggest promotion of any product is alcohol. Government­s should smarten up and protect people from this disease. JW.
