I don’t care who you vote for there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that if Campbell Newman was running the show these youth gangs would be shut down by now, Labour and the judicial system hang your heads in shame. Woodleigh
I don’t agree with much that right of centre journos write in their opinion pieces but I give my whole-hearted support to the view that locked up criminals can’t re-offend. To hell with imprisonment as the least desirable outcome for criminals. Detention is more desirable than a spiralling out of control crime wave by repeat offenders. Rehabilitation attempts can take place while they are off the street.
Heres a suggestion regarding the emergence of overseas violent street gangs operating in Australia. Give them the same punishment they would receive in their country! We are too soft & lenient. No deterent. Wake Up.
Tom Tate mouths my thoughts – National service is the only answer to youth crime. For god’s sake start acting...Nanna
Who is in control? At present it’s the criminal repeat offenders. It is way past time for the government to take control back and make the streets safe again. The solution is obvious and easily achievable. Get them off the streets.
Most parents hope to have a positive influence on their children, guiding them to be the best persons they can be without placing undue pressure on them. All the while loving them unconditionally. None of us are faultless and we all wish we could have done some things better, navigating parenthood. But when a child reminds you of something you taught them that helped them through their lives, it is one of the many rewards and joys of being a parent.
What’s going on at the Merrimac sewerage plant lately. They should change Boowagon Road to Poowagon .Yeah it stinks along there .
Time to ban election posters from both public and private places. Corflute election posters are a costly form of visual pollution and their defacing and removal is too often a cause of disputes.
I’ll vote for any candidate who promises to get rid of the revenue raising 3 hour parking restrictions for residents on Chevron Island. It’s appalling residents can’t get a parking permit when’s there’s literally thousands of spots available on any work day. Clearly they are not being used by shoppers. Cr Taylor doesn’t care - so long as there’s money in it for the Council - the residents can go jump. Darryle Knowles
Is it to late nominate for gc mayor? I’ll be campaigning for the g link to go to the border and media campaign involving models wearing g-strings. Slogan will be “Ride the g wearing a g“. Might upset a few people but then again I may become the mayor - BH
The question of the g-string bikinis is not about whether they should be illegal - it’s about why would they want to wear them. It’s a look-at-me mentality. Why can’t we leave something to the imagination?
Why were there more men than women wearing g strings and protesting ? Nothing worse than a guy in a g string yuk
Gold coasters have grown up with inadequate public transport. Just look at what percentage of school children go to school in a bus? That is why our roads are choked in the morning and afternoon drop off and pick up. So if you don’t get used to using it as a kid how do you expect them to think of it as a viable option later in life. So we are generations away from adoption. GN
Popular boxed-shaped modernistic looking houses with low-pitched roofs, no eaves and small windows, even with lots of insulation, are as unsuitable for sub-tropical South East Queensland as wearing a jumper in February. Architects from the past had it right with high pitched roofs, large eaves, windows that opened completely, not just one side, and wide verandahs.
Can you solve this riddle: What breaks but cannot fall, can leap but never crawl, can be seized but never gripped, often present, never skipped? GeeBee
It’s rare to see a show as well done as “Medium” .... d.a.luig.
Yes bring back millionaire hotseat it is not the same without Eddie everyday
Old Indian proverb, only when the last fish has been caught, the last river poisoned, the last tree cut down, will mankind realise, money cannot be eaten. We have an abundance under our feet, we can sell.but cannot use it. Go figure. 4cr
Choking on the BS. Thrusting solar panels, wind turbines and electric vehicles down our throats - despite the widespread, nonsensical strife this entails - is a disgrace. Socialist ideology and climate change hysteria rules as gutless politicians fold under the mindless, woke rubbish spewed by activists. Wake up Australia before we all disappear up our backsides.
What is being forgotten in the stage 3 tax cuts debate is that wealthy people have so many ways of minimising tax that the less wealthy are unable to access. It’s is possible that some extremely wealthy people already pay no tax.
FINANCIAL STRESS. Ah yes we all feel it but the gov feels for us - don’t they ? All of a sudden it’s their priority to talk about - that’s all TALK! Who voted these wallies in ? I didn’t. PH
There must be a large number of Middle Australians who are not doing
it so hard with this cost of living crisis ! Albo and Jimbo say they know they are!
Crazy! Is there anything, anything at all that can’t be blamed on climate change. It reflects just how insecure activists are about their doom n gloom predictions. They wish the worst to justify their woke weirdness.
People who promote climate alarmism or unreliable energy or transgenderism should be declared unfit for Queensland government employment. Higgs
Brisbane Broncos NRL team currently have a premiership window open to them but it will start closing as the crop of young rising stars come off their contracts. When that happens, the salary cap will limit the number of these they can retain.
