Bob@Kingscliff (10/01) - so true mate, so true. Step 1 - re-introduce some good old-fashion policing. Step 2 - remove ALL of the current magistrate­s. Like you, the community is over the parents of these delinquent­s saying “they are good boys” and the judicial system saying “imprisonme­nt doesn’t help rehabilita­tion”. Pedro

Cheap airfares listed one way. How much to get home? Barney

Our Prime Minister is jumping on the bandwagon criticisin­g supermarke­ts.

What about petrol prices? Or is that too hard? Martin Oxenford

ACCC to investigat­e supermarke­ts over alleged price-gouging. Someone should investigat­e why market domination has been allowed to happen under ACCC’s watch.

I am a Christian but have reservatio­ns about the push for “religious freedom” if it would permit discrimina­tion against anyone on religious grounds. There is enough discrimina­tion now without legalising it.

Why would I waste my time ‘educating’ myself on the history of Israel/Palestine. Let me take a wild guess. We kill their sons, they kill ours, we kill their sons, they kill ours .... etc etc etc. Dave

One would hope the state government and our Gold Coast Mayor and council will thank and reward the Energex crew and Ses volunteers appropriat­ely they gave up xmas and New Year for the people on the Gold Coast so many many thanks to you all. God Bless you all

Mann is Australia’s best cartoonist. I suggest those who are outraged get a sense of humour. Rembo.

Whenever I see a car behind me with New South Wales number plates I just can’t help myself. I flick my indicator on. Then, as I approach my corner, I flick it off to execute my turn. Haha. I know it’s wrong but the facials in the rearview are priceless. Pure gold right there. Disco Dave

In the unlikely event United States courts find that presidents are immune from prosecutio­n, the constituti­on would need to be changed to prevent a deranged president from running amok to stay in power.

In our systems of corporate democracy, war is an economic necessity, the perfect marriage of public subsidy and private profit: socialism for the rich, capitalism for the poor. The day after 9/11 the stock prices of the war industry soared. More bloodshed was coming, which is great for business.

Ambulance trying to come through at Ashmore / Bundall rds. Lights flashing, siren blaring and no one moved. Even if you are on a red light, get out of the way. It’s an emergency, could be you in the ambulance. Boysie

Does mayor Tom Tate’s photo need to be on a front page newspaper advertisem­ent about the council clean up with an election due in shortly?

Whats the use of paying a snake catcher

to remove deadly snakes only to release them down the road. In our day, the real men killed every snake they saw, except the carpet variety. Deadly snakes are everywhere today because the dopy Greens protect them. KenW.

Reading this mornings Gold Coast Bulletin I was interested in Joe Hildebrand­s article. It really struck home how fickle are our readers. Condemn Israel for defending itself but not hamas for their attempts at wiping one religion off the face of the earth. Well said.

‘Fire Ants have killed off a club game of Cricket...this will devastate families’... talk about overkill to make a headline. try talking to families left homeless because of the recent storms,never mind a stupid Cricket game !!

To Ken Wade and T Brien. In answer to both your questions 1. Mann cartoons are always anti Labor, and we have made peace with both Germany and Japan but Russia are waging a war against a free nation and should be condemned. BB

Energy minister Chris Bowen is so not on natures side frightenin­g gobble gock re licensing projects that can coexist alongside the environmen­t and existing industries he is flying blind on the impacts of offshore wind farms ask the whales fish and prawn industries they all agree not enough research has been done the electromag­netic fields generated will of course affect marine life. krissy

It occurs to me the PM, Mr Airbrush is attempting to normalise Government secrecy. A potentiall­y dangerous pursuit, especially in terms of his tenure. Menzies. Simon McLean.

Re: Israel/ Gaza text 1/10, What’s with the chatroom editors word count, clearly an act of bias, only 80 words or less. No matter which side of an argument you might be on it should be a fair playing field. We now know where your support lies. The Thinker Krissy, regards wind turbines. Noone speaks of the tonnes of concrete and steel and litres of oil used plus the compensati­on to farmers and the additional interconne­ctors needed . All this and they need wind otherwise useless. Meanwhile $trillions have been committed by 2030. Ron.S

Hi no name, if you want Matt Canavan to look up his history maybe you should take a real step back in your historical nit picking and see what the Jews have suffered over the years I suppose the dog ate your home work. Vern S

Good to see local paper hold state LNP politician­s and wantabees to account on youth crime. Policies and costing is what’s expected not propaganda. Max.
