CHATROOM

Gold Coast council. Re Helensvale tram station parking. Any day there are 80-100 cars parked on the grass berms outside the car park which is always full. Can I suggest that the grass berms be turned into angle parking before the rains come, because it will be a mudbath when they do come. Let’s get proactive. Glyn

Scott Morrison will not get my vote at next election if he doesn’t walk away from Paris Agreement. Its time to make a stand. It’s called common sense. Barry

Pokie players do our nation a favour and have a year off and we will send these thieves broke, like they do to Australians, boycott the clubs & pubs until the price of a lousy beer & feed come down. Mick

QTOP (GCB letters 4/10) should be in schools and compulsory before getting a driver’s licence . This is a very full on and confronting program. I know as I did it and I hadtrouble sleeping some nights. As a newspaper u should help push for it. I’ve seen grown people walk out because of how serious the program is. B.j robina

Minister for Defence Christopher Pyne, in an interview with Andrew Bolt on Sky actually stated that Australia needs “bespoke” submarines because “the Indian Ocean is quite a different temperature to the Pacific Ocean”. How did someone so ignorant ever get to a position of making defence acquisition decisions? Chrissy, just so you know, all oceans have all sorts of different temperatures at different depths and all modern submarines are fine with that. Higgs, Mudgeeraba

Four female teenagers boarded bus who pushed their way in front of a wheelchair and fare evaded. They then told the wheelchair man and tourists to get f-----. On the way out of the bus they poured coke all over the floor and yelled at the bus driver. Merri

The Labor Party can safely bet on anyone who drives a diesel vehicle absolutely not voting for them in the next election, thanks for nothing. Woodleigh

Optus, 90 a month on special for unlimited broadband, well consumers shop around – its half that almost everywhere. The greed buster.

I’m not saying gc massage parlours are brothels. But I’ve noticed a lot of middle aged men leaving these parlours with big smiles on their faces. These masseurs must be masters at pressure point therapy. – Rob

Johnny T, get real, .08 and 10k over limit is enough to kill

some poor innocent! It’s idiots like you that think drink and drive is ok! Freddie

So magistrate John Costanzo says that it’s a disgraceful state of affairs about 1 in 4 drivers being over the limit or on drugs, then a serial drink driving offender on his eighth – that’s right 8th – offence appeared before him and no jail time. Well hello earth to John Costanzo, this guy is not the problem, soft magistrates are. Zorba

With all the players leaving the GC Suns who will be left. AFL needs to stop key players that the club developed from leaving just so they can play in a final. AFL should lock all players to a club for 10 yrs else every GF will be Tigers Magpies. Redneck

Why are we getting so many approvals for hotels. How about fixing the roads and more parking. No planning is being put in place.

Rudd & Turnbull! Stop whinging. Take rejection like a man such as Hawke & Abbot did. Johnbrew

If Malcolm could shut up for say, just a month, we might have a chance to forget who he is. But I suspect that’s what he’s concerned about. GT

A Broadwater ferry transport system was knocked back by council 20 years ago. Maybe if approved at that time we wouldn’t have the traffic problems we have today.

Pretty inefficient, the council pickup this year... still rubbish mounds in Carner ct and Floyd in Parkwood... Lowest tender, worst job? Fan F No wonder Qld’s highways are so expensive to build, progress runs at a snails pace, machines and tip trucks parked up doing nothing and all on hourly hire rates, NSW and Vic build better roads than Qld, and a lot quicker, that reduces the cost.

Proposed ferry service – first key question: where will people park? Same question for G:Link extension – Curly Bells

Front Bar is killing the other footy shows because they don’t have any women on the panel. Men do not want to watch a woman tell him how the game is played. Redneck

What a great piece by Andrew Bolt in yesterday’s Bulletin. Kevin Rudd blames all aspects of the media for his failings. Why do the media give this megalomaniac space? Matt
