JUST watched swearing in ceremony of new Supreme Court justice in the states, standing ovation for Kermit the frog Mitch McConnel and an insulting speech to all women that have been sexually assaulted and any other physical assault by Toad of Toad Hall Donald Trump. I shall no longer stand for American Anthem until things change for the good of all

Nearly choked on my corn flakes this morning when I read of Qld Labor’s dumb idea of a high speed rail service for south east Qld. Labor can’t even complete the heavy rail from Varsity down to Coolie airport. Keep dreaming Annastacia, pigs might fly too. Kevin anti-Labor

Who says there is no global warming? I just saw a photograph of Nineteen at the Star chef Kelvin Andrews coming out of the water with a cooked lobster in yesterday’s Bulletin! HR

How about dropping the words daylight saving and call it daylight utilisation. Then the animals and faded carpets and drapes won’t be brought into the equation. GTN Coombabah

Sending immigrants to the bush, who’s brainwave is that. Stop all immigration for 5 years. We dont have enough permanent work, mainly casual. With thousands more immigrants the only thing to go up would be welfare. What about infrastructure roads water etc.

Overseas countries don’t have any trouble with overcrowding in jails but then they have jails. What we have here is restricted motel accomodation. Barney

Hey Darrel, I wish you would go back to Sydney, one less whinger here and you wouldn’t have to worry about a pool down there, just a good umbrella and heater!

Here is something for the Labor voters. Rail fails, child abuse scandals, cosy relations with union thugs, a waste levy tax and destroying the racing industry. What a wonderful govt you have given us, not!! Big Bob

School maintenance (GCB, Oct 9). This is what happens when schools are given control of maintenance budgets, direct to market and don’t have the guidance from gov tradespeople, money being spent elsewhere and no experience in identifying problems. Rusty.

Just read that the underfunding for school maintenance has been blamed on the Newman government. Who saw that coming? D.E.

Someone had a big whinge the other day in Chatroom crying that many of us Tweed folk work over the border in the Gold Coast taking Goldie jobs, but how many thousands of you Gold Coasters work in Brisbane choking the M1 every day and taking Brizzie jobs. John, Tweed Heads

I look forward to the day a majestic cruise ship sits on the Gold Coast shore. Cruisers spend a lot of money and create jobs. I know, I worked on one for nine years. Two terminals even better

Yes Ken, I too would like to know what Indonesia does with our 600 million aid money every year. I do know that most Indonesians live in poverty and their military spending is huge as is their police force. They also spend a fortune funding the genocide in West Papua. The Critic

Can some expert please explain how beautiful coral thrives in the warm tepid waters of the South Pacific (Fiji et al) but bleaches in the cooler waters of the Great Barrier Reef?

GCBulletin (Oct 9). Gold Coast leaders want rapid rail to Brisbane, cost 70 billion. Good idea, let them pay for it. Oigle, Coomera

Had a laugh reading GCB Oct 8 re Coomera’s new shopping centre close to opening soon and (wait for it) about 2,000 workers on site, working furiously. What the, who has ever seen CFMEU members working furiously, they are normally on strike. Ken.

I used to respect broadcaster, Alan Jones, but that has disappeared in the last 6 weeks. He needs to pull his head in and start respecting people and their positions! Katz

All of my real estate agent friends have quit their jobs in the last six months. Work is drying up. Properties aren’t selling. And they say the fear of a property bubble is stopping people from buying. This property correction seems to be more than a theory – Karen

No name Tugun, banks are not a community service anymore. Buy something at a shop. Your 100 notes will be broken down in change. John

Give me a break!! We’re turning into a pack of sooks, or city NSW are. The opera house looked good with a bit of colour projected on it, what’s wrong with a horse race, it’s legal. Lainey

Australia bloody good country. No justice system, no jail, just spend time on parole. Do what you want. Just what I’m looking for. Ali
