SOME letter writers sound more like members of an outlaw bikie club, with their flog everyone who steps out of line attitude. Taking the law into your own hands is against the law. You are inciting violence with that attitude, which is also against the law. Especially inciting the police to do it. You sound more like criminals than law-abiding citizens.

In time, not 2 far away, because people have had a gutful of these brats terrorising people & getting away with it, they will be faced with vigilantes because the authorities/laws, can’t/won’t act – hard-working citizens will. Bollockbags GC

In 1981 the author Koontz published

a novel in which he predicts a virus to be used as a biological weapon was being formulated. Makes interesting reading. Barney

For crying out soft ... we all use shopping trolleys. Some trolley bays have two returns. Why can’t people put bigger trolleys in one, and smaller ones in the other! Trolley collectors must nearly scream at times, sorting it out. C’mon guys, help them out … they do a great job. Ma

Ban all inbound visitors to our country for at least one month ... you govt fools.

If coronavirus is really an infection of the lungs, why are people stocking up on toilet rolls? Maybe they don’t know their a*** from their elbow or any other part of their anatomy. beeb.

Fair go! Why do we pay pollies at all with reckless crap like that from NSW Matt Kean & his “poison bait drop”? Animals (who survived) in the “bushfire ravaged NSW” are starving & “poison bait” will not discriminate. Any animal desperate for food will eat this “poisoned food”. Do these ppl have any brains at all?

China’s exports fell 17.2% in two months due to coronavirus (GCB, 9/3) but it’s “just the flu”, right? Shano

Why do we need to be bombarded with these photoshopped and mostly unattractive election corflutes everywhere. Apart from causing a dangerous traffic distraction in some locations they are an ugly blight on our city. Surely we can have special dedicated zones and a limit of, say, three per candidate. CAP

Elderly lady? Sixty-five is the new forty-five. Grannie Annie Nerang

Elderly lady pedestrian (65). Is 65 really “elderly”? Old Maid In Miami (63)

It’s so damn annoying, every item we pick up in these big department stores; the labels read ‘Made in China’ even this new virus caused from idiots eating bats is ‘Made in China’. No wonder Donald Trump is considering disconnecting the US from doing trade with China and make their own products that will create more US jobs. We need to do the same thing here, instead of importing sub-standard Chinese rubbish. Ken W.

With all the usual suspects, greens rabble, do nothing crusaders, stop this, stop that mob dragging Mona Hecke down with them it looks like ol Tom will be returned, best of an ordinary bunch I guess. Simon

I am in a quandary! Y do females “spew out venom” about being “objectified” whilst generally in an “almost state of undress” leaving nothing 2 the imagination? U can’t “have yer cake & eat it” just as a matter of course. If U want 2 B taken seriously, then act & dress with decorum. It works & looks far nicer every time. Cobblers

Before we get carried away with light rail stage 3B, wait for tenders on 3A to be submitted. Shortlisted constructors have walked away from all risk to constructors forms of contract, including Stage 3A, so let’s wait and see what happens as true costs get realised and budgets fall short in an election year. Interesting times ahead. Anon.

I do think some of the media has contributed to the hysteria with the coronavirus. The terminology used to describe global warming has been extreme, with terms like “crisis”, “emergency” and “extinction” being used by imbeciles, but sadly being quoted daily by a generally more responsible press. Overly dramatic warnings of possible, far off catastrophes do nothing but cause needless fear & panic, & this is easily transferred to any perceived “disaster”, which is not one in fact, but is indeed a very serious issue to be dealt with accordingly. Minus the run on toilet paper and food. Bruce Cramond.

I viewed with interest the cleaning of Mal Burke Carpark with gurneys and heavy duty equipment over the past couple of weeks in light of the fact the streets of the CBD are filthy and badly in near of this type of attention. Cathro

Really L.Tyler ... there are families struggling to put food on the table and you expect a thankyou note because you and your hob-nob cronies can afford to pay $300 ahead for Xmas lunch. Oh, puhlese! – Curly Bells

I wish someone with some say would talk up the supermarket price gouging, first the fires then the rains and now the coronavirus. GRUB CEOS!

BS. Try chilly bush leaves. They take a bit to get used to but flush easily. Johnbrew
