What a joke, a man goes out of his way to free a deadly eastern brown that got stuck in an old car radiator and then sets it free, just like these snake catchers who charge to catch a snake and let it free that could bite a child. You only have very limited time to get medical help for an eastern brown bite. In our day the real men killed every snake they saw to protect kids and pets. Bill & Bev, retired farmers

We can’t keep foreign killers behind bars, we are too busy paying CEOs & politicians outrageous pay packets instead of building a bigger jails.

To the people of Nerang. Why do you leave your “donations” at the Lifeline store outside opening hours? Are you really donating reusable items or just dumping junk? The local scavengers have a ball and the poor volunteers have to waste valuable time cleaning up the mess. When it is a long weekend it is disgusting. It beggars belief. Diz.

I agree with Alex (GCB 26/10) I am also financially well off also a waterfront home and enjoy world trips and I would give the right woman a wonderful life providing she has a nice nature, honest and trustworthy and not gold diggers, but where do I find one like that. All the girls I have got involved with are too arrogant and disgrace themselves when they drink alcohol. I will be like Alex and stay single. Too bad girls. Andre, Paradise Waters.

Got to agree with that letter

about migrants from Latin America. With Trump as president don’t expect him to help solve the problem except build a great big wall. The answer to some extent would be to increase legal immigration to both Australia and Canada’s level which is twice as large as theirs. Also instead of wasting trillions of dollars on useless Middle East wars spend it on helping their southern neighbours get rid of the conditions they live in. However it won’t happen before 2020 or maybe even 2024 if Trump wins another term. Dominic

ED Mermaid, Bob Hawk wasn’t the only Labor PM to be knifed in the back by socalled mates, what about Gillard and Rudd, yet Shorten has the nerve to call the LNP a bunch of backstabbers. I suggest he watch his back as his mates have realised Labor will never win an election with Shorten as their leader. Ron Price, Burleigh Heads.

Beats me how people put up with watching soccer on tv or even paying to see games at the grounds live. In their endeavour

to eliminate mistakes the VAR can pick up technicalities in the game to make decisions in black and white, but can’t read the mind of players looking for penalties and free kicks all the time. In a low-scoring game like soccer you don’t need all that drama. Here is a tip just use it for off-side calls if you have to otherwise more and more people will watch the number one code in the country with all its grey areas that go with it.

Whoever is responsible for policing these orange bikes should go into Surfers one Sunday morning. What a mess. Bikes just dumped anywhere, on their sides, upended, visitors just laughing at them. A tacky embarrassment.

Good on Kingscliff Bowls and Cudgen Leagues Clubs for not cutting weekend rates for their staff. Sadly there won’t be many others, just another attack on already victimised hard working people.

Watched closing ceremony of Invictus Games last night. What a difference to the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games closing Ceremony! This was a brilliant night showing exceptional acts, meaningful speeches and a true celebration of what the games were all about, unlike the political selfserving & embarrassing debacle which was the Commonwealth Games ceremony & where the athletes were ignored.

Wake up USA you now don’t know if you go to school, work or church if you will be going home alive thanks to Donald and his gun lobby mates. What will it take to end this waste of good people? Digger.

So! David Crisafulli tells us that the yachts and house boats should have their sewage tanks pumped out a proper discharge facility and move 5.5km every seven days, yeh right. I can show you a lot of yachts and house boats on the northern and north western side of Wavebreak Island who haven’t shifted more than a couple of hundred metres and have never had their sewage tanks pumped out yet people are living on these boats full time. The transport minister and his hangers-on have no idea.

Being an old Harley rider nothing gets me more upset when newbies or show-offs on Harley’s who don’t know how to rev. The rule is only at a set of lights every 10 seconds with half second rev. No revving with clutch in while rolling to stop. Only idiots do that. And if you can’t follow the rules then ride a moped.

Halloween a celebration witchcraft and Satanism.
