MAFS is one reason why morality in Australian if not the world is down in the gutter. Pity today’s youth don’t have a more positive example to follow, some parents excluded. Doug

BILL BUSTER, if you are over the 30% mark-up on a lousy bottle of sparkling mineral water from Coles & Woolies, Aldi has the same for 69 cents.

Vera Scrimshaw’s letter outlining the difference­s between Conservati­ves and Labor/Greens should be front-paged in all print media and postered on every street corner. Kamora

Brilliant letter yesterday from Vera but can we put it on Facebook as the young ill-informed labor voters don’t read newspapers JS

Vera Scrimshaw told it like it is … how true was every word of her letter.

The Club of Rome’s website has their “climate emergency plan”. The co-president says “Transforma­tional climate action is an opportunit­y for a societal renaissanc­e of the proportion­s never seen before.” First they’ll take our money, then our stuff, and then we’re all stuffed. Spiro

So many hot topic issues getting a wide variety of responses. Fake news too is a growth industry married to climate change and political correctnes­s. Sad days for us all.

BAFTA nominee Paul Fisher needs to think before speaking. No filter on his foul mouth. Disappoint­ing also that his interview on Sunrise at 8am was not scrutinise­d. Not necessary to drop the f-bomb at that G-rated time. Worse still that compere’s laugh. Have some class!

At the end of last week I spent a few days in Pindara Hospital,

firstly at A&E and then in the cardiac ward. The care and attention from the doctors and staff there was outstandin­g, they were so caring! The food was excellent as well. A top hospital. Janet Ruth.

Prison inmates being served far better quality meals than aged care patients, no wonder criminals don’t mind going to prison for a paid holiday. They should be locked up in their cells 24/7 and served bread and water like in the old days, that way crime would reduce for fear of being returned to jail. Susan.

Do the crims in the watchhouse get hot meals?

These pretend tough criminals complainin­g Southport Watchhouse is so cramped and can’t have a shower, too bad it’s your fault you are in

there so don’t expect any sympathy from the public. In the US they hose you down using a fire hose but you sooks would complain that is too cruel. Today’s young crims are wimps when they haven’t got their mates around to back them up. Big Lou.

Recent news reports stated that offshore detainees seeking asylum in Australia should be given priority if they have mental health issues. The mental health

wards in our hospitals are bursting at the seams and don’t have even half the beds needed. People are being admitted and released a day or two later because there simply aren’t enough beds. Why bring more people into the country who need mental health care when there simply isn’t any room? Colleen, Oxenford.

Yes Charlie I agree with you, I’m red-green colour blind but I know that the top one is stop

and the bottom is go. Mind you I was driving in Miami USA, I screamed at my wife ‘What colour are lights?’ They are positioned sideways. ET Robina

Carl – we all know you were not at the cinema but at the asylum. Zorrow

It’s the rudest scam going, shortages, floods and fires, prices must go up! It’s just a reason for greedy people to cash in.

How about all those voicing displeasur­e about soccer player Hakeem’s treatment overseas get behind the treatment of the Matilda’s coach. Doug

Jenny Moxham, you can graze on your carrots and celery all day long but I’ll be digging into a T-bone steak anytime I choose. Healthy meat eater. John Z

The sooner Gallop is kicked out the better off will every soccer player and supporter will be – ex Titan

I must be watching the wrong shows. I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here I couldn’t name any of these as a well known. Mg

Dear dog walkers, your dog should walk on your left, on the grass so it is not running across the path of oncoming walkers. It is not cute! I am a dog lover, it’s their dumb owners I can do without. Jess

All you American president followers can rest easy in the knowledge that along with his nearest and dearest, they have a well stocked undergroun­d bunker to go to if and when his arrogant and confrontin­g nature ignites a nuclear war! That’s his Trump card. Dave s
