AJS, surely you jest? When solar & wind farms intend to take over 30% of our agricultur­al land to produce their unreliable power? John Mc

All those floods every year, a constant reminder how useless the Politician­s here are. All their usual rubbish talk about great volunteers and how resilient communitie­s are and no solutions . Ancient Egyptians and Mayans thousands years ago had better understand­ing how to control water than those silly politician­s and engineers we got today.

Driveway parking mum should insist council keeps the footpath - by admission, their property - mowed and tidy. - Curly Bells

Footpaths in front of homes and vehicle crossings are not for parking and shouldn’t be. Residents of a house in our street in Robina with 2 work utes, 2 SUVs, a large boat and a smaller dinghy on trailers plus a camper van treat the vehicle crossing and footpath in front of the house as private parking for 3 of their vehicles. Reports to council have achieved nothing.

I’ve seen a half a dozen G Staff on trams and platforms this morning but

NO ticket checking. What a hoot GCB. Bludgers jumping on the trams right under their noses with the freeloader­s knowing that no one is going to fine any of em. The arrogance is Breathtaki­ng GCB. Ho ho ho.

Trackless trams with rubber wheels for the Sunshine Coast. I’m a septuagena­rian. We call them buses! Pedro

Anyone is better for mayor than Tom tate. Serge from surfers.

I agree with DS (20/12) about climate emissions.What is it with our politician­s when they gain power, they fall under the spell of big globalist organisati­ons that put them in a trance about the climate,and that they must get rid of fossil fuels ASAP. It’s a cult driven agenda that only hurts the average person not the elites.That’s why I hope Trump wins next year to bring back sanity to the world.The Godfather.

‘I loved how much he (trump) made the lefties squirm’. Perfect explanatio­n of the political awareness of MAGA republican­s. B2

It will never happen, but Donald Trump should pause and reflect that most of his problems are of his own making.

Tee-hee, Wed cartoon again spot on! Onya Mann!

One of the many problems with land developmen­t in Australia to supply lots for housing is the ability of developers to trickle out land releases in small stages to maintain or increase prices. Developmen­t Approvals should have staged numbers and timeframes which could be varied in special circumstan­ces.

Doesn’t feel real Christmasy this year. Must be Albo’s cost of living crisis. Thank you ALP. Mousey

I see that Malcolm Turnbull is forecastin­g that Australia will become

a Republic in 2026. Until he can tell us which type of Republic it will be, with an appointed or elected President it will not happen. Ed Mermaid

NDIS system is riddled with rorts we have heard so many times. So it takes 18 months for a “report!” Bill Shorten looks as if he hates his portfolio – what’s he been doing ?

Most kids today are a lot smarter than the ageing movers and shakers who think they run this country through business and the media think. They don’t believe every word of the propaganda fed to them like a lot of older conservati­ve people do, and see both sides of issues. Which gives me hope the future of this country will be in good hands.

The USA, Britain, France, Bahrain, Italy, Canada, the Netherland­s, Norway, the Seychelles, and Spain have all joined together to ensure imports and exports have safe passage in the Red Sea. Where is Australia? When we ask for help, why should they help us? HR

They are so up themselves! People who want to remove Christ from Christmas should celebrate something else , some time else, somewhere else. Maybe non-believer day on April 1 when they can all gather in paddocks in confused and intolerant groups and bleat at one another.

Being a grandfathe­r of nine and comparing the difference between the days when I was brought up and the kids of today I am pretty sure what ADHD means. Spoilt brats. Pop

A simple attitude change and the youth of today might be better placed to actually make Australia a better place. Don;t expect everything on a platter.

Get real u so called animal lovers! Dopey undergrowt­h and forest maintenanc­e policies by greens and useless councils are far more of a threat to koalas than roadkill or human projects. Resultant bush infernos are koala Armageddon, but the human toll is atrocious too.

I have two questions to ask- why do people take their bloody dogs to Bunnings, and why do Bunnings allow them to? LEAVE THEM AT HOME!

Perth cricket test - day one gets a crowd 15,000 A week later, a 20/20 game (Scorchers v Hurricanes) gets 28,000. Is test cricket dying of s slow death ?

Cricket ???? Yeah who cares.
