So some thought that maybe Dave Warner didn’t deserve to wear the baggy green and did something about it. GN

Sim if the current Indigenous want or need a home they could do what everyone else does and earn money to buy or rent one. Don’t you think that the $ billions given to them annually is enough and that we should let them live in our hard earned homes. Ron.S

They are called scrunch bum pants that your seeing at Robina plus don’t forget pacific fair boysie! They are a disgrace and most women wearing them shouldn’t be. All ass and no class!

We’re happy to pitch in & help people clean up their property but at this stage some roads are still a mess with power lines & trees & were told to stay away. Hopefully now Miles is back from his holiday & has called for help from the ADF work might get done.

Even when there are no natural disasters affecting banana production there are unexplained movements in the price of the fruit like the ones in fuel prices. For no real reason other than because retailers can, prices go up 25% from $2.99 to $4 and more than back.

There needs to be changes in the criminal justice system including parole boards to ensure sentences and release of convicted criminals on parole are more reflective of community sentiments.

At present the system seems to be too heavily weighted against victims of crime who have to face life sentences.

The latter have made record profits in recent years, doubling them profits in 2023 despite the number of natural disasters in Australia. Their response has been to make hefty rises in premiums when they should, instead, be making hefty changes to claim response times.

Warner’s baggy greens caps go missing! Unfortunately someone has taken his backpack out of his luggage! A large reward is offered for the return of small sandpaper pieces from the lining inside his caps! KB Tweed
