WHY can’t they legalise pot for personal use which you could grow your own then the police could give more time too random roadside test which would bring in more money and get more druggies and drunks off the road? Dave D

Wake up Australia! The shuffling of prime ministers has been unsettling, but give Scott Morrison a go, Peter Dutton is on the right track too. A vote for Labor or the Greens will open the gates and start an influx of illegal immigrants and nut jobs like the one in Melbourne. Lainey

Melbourne knife attack is why I came to the Gold Coast I would like to say more but you would not print it. David J, Bundall

Council workers showing up at work drug and/or alcohol affected. Unless it is instant dismissal the problem will never go away. That‘s how it works in the mines and most other places that do the random testing. Mary, Elanora

Bob Janssen (Bulletin letters 12 Nov) nearly gets it right. How can there ever be a “rogue shark”? Any hungry shark will eat you if you play in its back yard! Umpy, Ormeau

To the ‘minority’ complaining about dogs frequenting coffee shops. A pet dog is a family member. It goes out with the family! Rental properties have been forced to allow dogs to live on the property because of that reason. LS

Council workers are the only ones being drug tested so that would leave out councillors. Barney

In respect of the Melbourne madman I would like to know who applied for an injunction to stop publication of some of this bloke’s previous offences. Could it have been one of the police services preventing us finding out what he has been up to. Perhaps they are covering up their own inefficiencies. Richard G, Ormeau

Absolutely ridiculous number of off-leash along the Broadwater the weekend

RE Linda’s comment. We humans enter sharks’ and crocs’ habitats, not the other way around. By swimming in the ocean or river you know you risk being attacked. Rosi S

Re front page Medics steeling themselves for an increase in teens suffering a mental health crises amid the partying at Schoolies. The problem is these schoolies are the children of the outrageous GenY, who

caused hundreds of wrecked marriages of their parents and have no idea how to raise children of their own. When you see stressed children, take a good look at their parents, that's where the problem is. Judy, a sane baby boomer

Now I know why council workers don’t do anything. They are all doped out on the devil’s lettuce. Can’t blame them. If I worked for the council I’d have to be baked on the giggle weed to get through a shift. - Elsie

Great joke in Bureau of Meteorology predicting a hot month in 70 years time. They can’t even get our temps right in 7 hours. Goodlaugh. Son Tan

It would be interesting if not ironic to know how much the Australian people have paid out to the Bourke street terrorist and his family since they arrived all those years ago. No doubt compared to where they came from they have lived in relative luxury ever since being offered a new life here. To what end I ask. Oh just read the headlines. Death and destruction is what eventuated. Get some balls politicians! Granny Annie

Please can you mark the parking spaces all the way up Marine parade from Charis seafood. Any day there is enough room for another 40 cars if parked correctly. Also can you mark a designated right turning lane out side McDonald’s on Siganto Dr? Glyn

As an avid AFL and soccer fan I have to say the only way the world game can match the AFL juggernaut in this country is to have more goals scored and less theatrics. It could happen with 3 changes: Play 9 a side, shrink the 18 yard box to 15 yards and increase the size of the goalmouth by 10%. Problem solved, if FIFA allowed it. As Marc Bosnich has said, this is not Europe as the public and fans have many choices. The dominator

The greatest enemy of the sharks used to be helicopters now replaced by drones. How many millions of swimmers have survived a swim at the beach oblivious to the fact they were swimming with sharks? Sharkmate

Maybe instead of doing light rail to Burleigh they should fix the M1 fromVarsity Lakes to Tugun. Always congested at Elanora. Terry

The best way to avoid a shark attack is to stay on dry land. They’ve got to come through the bathroom shower to get me.--Sinbad.
