Hats off to the young lady behind the desk at the Cowboys Leagues Club Saturday evening dealing with aplomb a constant wave of rude and incredibly stupid patrons. I’ve no idea what you earn young lady, but it’s not enough! Muddy Boots. 4810.

To Ken 4810. It’s a good question. What does marriage really mean? By the sounds you seem to think that a father marrying his son or two sisters marrying ( which is incest) is similar or at least comparable to two unrelated homosexual adults choosing to spend the rest of their lives together.

Australians rejoice, our problems are over! No Shorten and Abbott haven’t been replaced with Albanese and Turnbull, even better. The West End trout has promoted himself from TTE to letters to the editor. With his ego it was only a matter of time. ( Humble) Struggling Pensioner Belgian Gardens

I found it ironic to watch our labor representative Aaron Harper an ex ambulance officer stand behind the premier and listen to her talk about shutting down small emergency control centres. Harper must know how hard it is to get good information from local area knowledge not from some clown in Brisbane. Chris4815

To Connie South Townsville, Your txt in Saturday’s Bully, got me hot under the collar, that happened back in 1964, when Dawn was a lot younger than she is now, I put this down to youthful exuberance, cut her some slack, and lighten up, fair go. D. Bilton w/ end

The Power Minister says we should be happy our bills will go down 0.5%. Is he for real? My bill has gone up 80% even though I use less power. He’s in cloud cookoo land. Jane, a pensioner
