I totally agree with Toni regarding banks giving us a month’s grace. I think they could give us all a break and relieve some stress. They will still make a healthy profit at the end of the year. Alan

Zodiac (GCB 17/3) - my understanding is that believers claim their God is Omnipotent, if this is the case he was either not listening or simply doesn’t care when we had bushfires with loss of life, then floods with loss of life. We now have COVID-19 with loss of life and still he neither listens nor cares, l think it is clear who is in denial. Harry

Please lock your homes and side gates. We live in Edinburgh Rd, Benowa and this morning had 3 youths all wearing hoods, bandannas over mouths and holding hunting knives out in front, crouching & running around the sides of our house, before getting into the garage to try to steal keys for several cars on our driveway. I confronted two of them in the garage. Police were amazing, respon- sive and quick. Lock up, they are brazen and dangerous.

STOP. BUYING. TOILET PAPER.

As an avid rugby league follower I would offer this suggestion to players, administrators etc. Do everything you can to protect the game including pay cuts, cost cutting and any other reasonable steps available to you. The rest of Australian society will through necessity do the same. You are part of us so continue to do us proud.

It’s such a shame that state governments continue to spend so much money and resources trying to eradicate marijuana plots when a large proportion of the world is legalising pot. Take the advantage away from the criminal enterprises by legalising a natural plant that has so many healing properties. JR

Can’t believe the cops have announced they’re stopping all roadside random breath testing due to the coronavirus. What on earth are they thinking? Whoever made that decision should be held responsible for any accidents and deaths involving drunk or drugged up drivers. Absolute madness.

Yes, “Glitter Strip” term is cheesy. Walk through club/bar precinct late at night and it’s the gutter strip! - Curly Bells

So what is all the hoo haa about self-isolating for airline passengers who come into the country. Overheard at Harbourtown a discussion between two men about this subject and one guy said why

bother how are authorities going to police the isolation anyway. That about says it all. Disgusted

Once a crooner virus was when Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra got a sore throat.

The convenience store under the Nelson building in Paradise Waters has single toilet rolls for $2.50 each. Price gouging at its worst. I will not be going back there, however many old-age residents have no choice.

Trading on the ASX should be suspended until things calm down. Short selling should be banned. Denise Bahr

Despite Premier promising tough stance on juvenile crime, it would appear the judiciary is still failing the community re; youth thugs. Judge Dick lets 2 violent thugs walk from court. No convictions recorded. No wonder public has lost faith in courts. JT

Our beef is water cost here on the Gold Coast. We are two aged pensioners living in our own home and have no plumbing leaks, we bucketed water for weeks from the washing machine on to the garden, had no visitors staying and the car gets washed once in two months. The water falls free from sky yet we cop close to $2000 per year water charges.

Thanks to all the rich greedy pigs emptying the supermarket shelves. People who live day to day are suffering because of your filthy greed and avarice. You make me sick and you aren’t Australian. G

Fining and/or imprisoning those who defy “self-isolation” for the CV is a joke – it will simply be yet another law that will never be enforced. Jus Sayin

90% of the media should be ashamed, and should be kicked firmly in the butt for turning this coronavirus situation into a circus of misunderstanding and panic. Because each media television station want you to watch them, they need to saturate their stories with fear. They are totally responsible for panic and downturn in the economy that is here. It’s disgusting. The Mad Rooster

Why are the clubs and pubs still open, young people swapping fluids spreading God knows what and the Government does nothing.

It’s so good to see John Wayne back striving to make his Division 2 community heard. He can put his new MBA to work with new insights on how to fix the old problems the current council overlooked. He and his wife Liz did so much to help the Studio Village Centre back in the day. GO JW. DiverGal.

What is it with people leaving used tissues on supermarket shelves? Disgusting grubs.
