THE orange bikes are a great idea. Users are generally great with them, always the minority who discard them the wrong way. Education is the solution. Ring the bell, and say a friendly Aussie hi. Just a thought.

I hope someone can explain to the family of the motorcycle rider Trevor Moran who was run down by a mental health patient how was she allowed to hold a drivers licence!

Sending good wishes to the poor Gold Coast family who are worried for their daughter’s health in Thailand, what a terrible situation to be in, praying for a good outcome for you all

The Federal Government slugs the motorist 2 taxes a GST & Excise on every litre of petrol which is in excess of 50 cents. No wonder they don’t care too much about the price. Barney

I read a message from “an old Harley rider” and realise old ones are as bad as the new ones. Old riders actually have revving rules?? How absolutely pathetic. How about don’t pointlessly rev your overpriced, outdated machine at all? That’s a pretty good rule the rest of the public would love to impose. To shock the “bikers “entirely, I am one. Just not one of you, I actually have respect for others. Steven

Has anyone actually witnessed people riding those orange bikes that are littered all over the Gold Coast? Wog

So the Police say there are 200 registered sex offenders living on the GC. More like 2000 if you ask me. And why wouldn’t they be here? After all, they can laze in the sun, hang around the beaches watching little kids and collect their welfare. Yes, it’s a great country no doubt about it. Don

What was Aldi thinking when they put that stupid ad on telly, that is so infuriating.

GCB 31/10. Here we go, cartons of stubbies to rise by $2.40 thanks to the new 10 cent refund scheme which many of us predicted would happen. To think some people drive several kms just to get 10 cents a can yet whinge about the cost of today’s fuel. You will need 16 cans reward just to cover each litre of fuel you use. Where is the sense in this? KenW.

Watching the news tonight about Centrelink call times. Well here is an idea: How about we text them our phone number and they phone back rather than sit on hold for 30

minutes? ET, Robina

That the board of CA failed to identify and deal with the cultural failings within the organisation is reason alone for them all to resign their positions.

Australia Cricket in a huge hole and now want the Sandpaper Trio to be pardoned what a joke. do the crime do the time and stop whingeing and crying wolf. that's proof of poor sportsmanship. Doug

Re: 8th month old Aussie in hospital Thailand. Who takes an 8th month old to a developing country? Johnbrew

So Wayne Howlett gets to have another weeks holiday before he may or may not go to the big house. Meanwhile one poor girl’s innocence has gone, and holiday or no holiday - will never return. Throw his hearing aids away with the key to his cell door.

Just a tip for Keno players. Don’t put your numbers on for more than one game. The system knows what numbers are in. You usually win on We have a beautiful park on the Gold Coast highway, Neddy Harper and William Duncan Park, in honour of two very important Gold Coast people. It is on the river and is one of the first parks tourists see when arriving in Surfers Paradise. Let’s make it special. The park needs some tender loving care. It has footpaths that go nowhere, the playground needs some sails as do the bbq area. It could do with more tables and seats once again with sails and may even another bbq.

Too true I also believe Keno is rigged. Only have to delete 1 number and you are history. Used to play consistently once, but not anymore. Jim

Tired

of

people

pulling

the mental card for heinous crimes. Time they were sentenced as a sane person. Judicial system needs over hauling and much harsher sentencing in place. Victims are suffering.

So Palaszczuk wants the big wheels back on the gold coast. what about fixing the m1 first so any wheels can move. — broadwater boy

Deposits on drink bottles and cans have been in South Australia for over 20 years. Soft drinks and cartons of beer cost no more there than here. If brewers are going to increase their prices they are conning you. Bicycle Kev

Bistro Bob … I’m with you. There are so many ways to make good inexpensive food. Takeaways are not cheap. Ting Tong
