Wow. The Sea Life Melbourne spokeswoman calls for sharks attacks to be now reported as bites interactions or negative encounters and sharks were unfairly demonised by us humans and such INCIDENTS were rare. What a load of rubbish. Try telling that to the many victims of shark ATTACKS around the world not just here in Australia.. she needs to take her head out of her backside for sure. Doug

If I thought I had the virus I wouldn’t bother getting tested if I had to wait in a mile long queue.

The NSW premier is starting to remind me a bit of Comical Ali, Media and Foreign Affairs Minister under Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, who put a very positive spin on things as American forces rapidly over-ran the country during the Gulf War.

Surely it must be obvious to everyone that this country is massively over governed. We do not need three levels of government, so what goes? Our B grade Premier and her underwhelming lackies? or our publicity loving Tom Tate and his band of merry men......and women? Somebody please do something. Martin Oxenford

What’s happening in Queensland, Victoria and WA- is a warning to other States- to never vote for this hopeless Labor Government in your State,- or you end up with a Communist - like rules and a disaster - caused by those underperforming Ministers and Premiers. Stan, GC

440,000 people crossed into Qld and 4000 cases and Qld Health have no plan and are in a disorganised panic. What a bunch of amateurs. We are told we have opened the border yet we still have passes, tests and restrictions and this is how we are to live with it? With test results taking so long to be processed that contract tracing is never going to catch up and irrelevant. A system that is deeply flawed.

Let people smoke, drink or do whatever. It’s not up to us other humans to tell them what they can or cannot do. I am so over all the regulations people put on others. Live and let live.

With the Ashes safely in the bag,it would be worth considering playing our second string Australia”A” side for the last two Tests to gain more experience for future test series in case this Virus hangs around for another two, three or more years. Otherwise use an extra fast bowler at expense of a batsman not a spinner,to record a memorable five nil whitewash,as most bowlers can bat reasonably well if the batsmen fail.

Ever noticed anti vaxxers are often hippies who ingest drugs a criminal made in their garage while refusing to take scientifically regulated vaccines? Keep chugging alfalfa hippies but it’s useless against covid! - Dave

I’m not sure which feels the best, beating a Pom or a Qlder. Jack

I don’t mind Hendy and crew not getting vaxxed but I don’t think they should be allowed to go up back stairs into surf club. Rusty

How stupid is this guy Panagakos or is it pure arrogance? But then again maybe he understands the judges rulings and he will get off with a wrist slap. Watch this space. 4218

Why don’t they tell us how many people in hospital and ICU are unvaccinated each day? Surely that would validate why it is a poor choice to not be vaccinated. All these other numbers are irrelevant to the general population if we are to live with Covid. GN

Would you seek advice from an epidemiologist on surfing? I don’t think so. Then why would you accept advice on Covid from Hendy & Kelly! QED Ozman

What a surprise,tens of thousands flocking to Queensland for Christmas and the experts with their modelling didn’t see any problems.The government,the one that formulates a budget has proven once again they couldn’t run a chook raffle.beeb.

Why are there still police at the border. If most people are double vaccinated what’s the issue? Those who chose not to be vaccinated have to live with that decision. It’s going to happen if there are police there or not, Just stop the horrendous queues. JB

How far off the mark is Barnaby Joyce? Amber Heard has a go at him & he calls Johnny Depp a deadsh.t Yeah I want him running the country...sure. Broadbeach Oldie

I thought vaccines protected you from disease. This vaccine seems to be a treatment after you get the disease. Barney

Politicians talk big and spend big....then simply move on with huge benefits and we all are left to pay. No such thing as a politician working for the people. Palaszczuck & Bailey classis examples. WAKE UP

Steven Miles took great pleasure in ripping up the account for quarantine money owed by Qld government to NSW government. States signed up to repay NSW, but Qld, unlike other states, have reneged on their contract. Perhaps those people owing quarantine money here in Qld should consider doing the same when visited by the debt collectors from our Qld government. GM

11000 cases in nsw and vic 3000 . why on earth did Qld open the border . Aside from that we were told the states would cope . There’s not enough testing facilities for a start.

Anastasias Gobbledygook has been clear to see from the day she became Head Girl. Hasn’t changed abit. A dropped lasagne wouldn’t have made such a mess.

New Years resolution from Mayor Tom Tate should read. I will fix our disgraceful roads and traffic light debacle,I will stop wasting ratepayers money on frivolous projects,I will hand over HOTA to someone who knows how to run it and last but not least I will stop commenting on matters that firstly don’t concern me and I also know I am not smart enough to know anything about. The latter list could be endless. Geoffrey

Why do I feel like an ant, while a disturbed child with a magnifying glass is hovering over me on a sunny day? Queensland resident.

Welcome to Queensland. If you haven’t yet got covid, please stop at one of our many testing queues to collect yours free. Happy Holidays from Anastasia

Have a question. Now that being an anti vaxxer has become quite trendy these days, how many were vaccinated when a kid from all the diseases out there or is that irrelevant when one wants to be a trend setter?4221
