WHY are we not rioting in the streets over hospital parking fees? Profiting from people’s misery is immoral and disgusting. M

Many would agree with you Ken – the age of males to serve time in adult prisons should be lowered to 16 – they are the age who are stealing cars just for the thrill of a police pursuit just to impress their gang mates. A stretch in an adult prison will change their ways, they won’t want to come back for a second trip to join those hardened gorillas in for life. I did a 3 year stretch inside and never again. Mick.

OVER IT ... Suns players leaving. Grow some ??? Suns bosses. We get them young teach them a few things and then “I want to go home”. If Lynch n May want to go, force them into the draft so they don’t choose who they want to play with or force May to honour his contract. No loyalty any more ... very sad ... Keps

RE influx of GC brothels. It’s supply for demand. Most of us blokes have given up on the local girls. Too much hard work and maintenance for 0 return. Brothels are an easy alternative. And therapeutic treatment for men’s health. These companies should be subsidised by Qld health. Dave

Bahaha. Tong Ting very good. Sometimes the wives find out because stupid husbands forget to delete txt. Awwww technology this time I thank you. Yours truly Mrs Wong

Dear Donna Watts Smith, if you park on side street just north of old council depot on Barratta st Southport and walk back 5 mins to tram it will cost about 1.60 each way. Hope this helps you. Zerotolerater.

Donna Watts Smith. Park your car at Parkwood station. Catch train to hospital. Couple dollars each way. Ernie Parkwood

How hopelessly slow are the roadworks on M1 – no day work, no weekends, couple excavators scratching dirt – why those jobs never got any priority or urgency? Why speed limits in place 24/7 – if there is only few hrs work happening ? Another Union run project. Chinese can build the highway quicker than you can paint the lines on it!

Jimmy Barnes working class man. Give me a break! This guy hasn’t done a full hard days work in his life. Terry of Kingscliff.

Bruce of Murwillumbah: I still have my little green tin Com Bank building money box from my days at school in Kalgoorlie in the mid 50s/early 60s (am now 69). Maybe the ABC

could get another scoop based around my 60 year old money box. ETB

What a rockshow. Here we have a Southport Magistrate raving about disgraceful drink/drug drivers (and I agree) yet a repeat offender walks from his court after all this raving. Meanwhile in a court room next door another bloke on his eighth driving charge walks from court. Is all this judicial ranting and raving just for show for the public !!!! Mr Magistrate, you talk the talk, how about you walk the walk. ETB

The Footy Show tried to appease feminists and others with no love of rugby league and look what happened. This should be a lesson to all corporations wanting to pander to a few whingers. GP

Getting over hearing about the drought and how we have to dig deep for farmers. Drought is as much part of this country as ice is in the north pole. Grow smaller crops and drove smaller herds? Stop moaning that you can’t farm in a country thats 80% desert??? G

Lainey re animal cruelty. I think that the government needs to step up and renew the legislation and penalties. These cowards should be locked up and made to care for animals for at least five years. They then might learn how majestic and kind animals are. John Z

Give Greg Inglis a break, .08 and 10ks over-big deal! Johnny T

Please to the speeding drivers that race down currumbin creek road. Do the speed limit! have had great pleasure to be able to live there. Even more pleasure to have Koala bears on my property. Only to find the mother and baby dead under their tree. Another pair of wildlife animals gone. It is not a race track and I wish the police would enforce that. RB

Not rocket science. They got rid of Fatty Vautin a naturally funny man who held the Footy Show together ... anti adds and funny skits were really funny unlike crap such as “live at the apollo” and this dreadful melbourne rot. Now there’s no NRL Footy Show ... to quote Forrest Gump “stoopid is as stoopid does”. Bistro Bob

Malcolm Turnbull crying that he was backstabbed, does he not know that his own mates replaced him with Scott Morrison simply because he was too much of a leftie and a greenie and the LNP have no respect for the greens. Turnbull would have been better suited as a Labor man and a bed mate with the Greens like Annastacia is. Ken.

The police should be able to charge those pushing shopping trolley’s on the streets with stealing, easy fixed. Return them.
