Steve BG, all of those countries would probably fit into Qld with room to spare, all are populated areas, not outback, each has a budget way bigger than our whole state, and can grow power capabilities to suit. Get real! Wayno Ravenshoe

Isn’t it comical that some people still think the moon landings didn’t happen. Close to half a million people involved and no one has ever changed their story, it would’ve been harder to fake it than it was to do it. ob4819

Ardern obviously has a pretty low opinion of Australia. I wonder why 10% of her population chooses to live here. Could it be that the UN continually rates us as in the top four countries to live, compared to NZ which usually scores between number 10 and 14. It’s a great place for hobbits, but has a noreturn policy on orcs! Shane Airlie

I got a better idea for the NZ Pm.we’ll keep all the kiwi crims here,if she’s willing to take all the terrorists that want to return to Aust. Fair swap I’d say. DAN,AYR

With reference to Barry Lowe’s letter (TB 19 July) and the absence of any response, to date, from Messrs Harper, Mcelligott and Agacy, I have to wonder if they know that ‘he who is silent is taken to agree’, ‘silence means consent’ is a way of formally adopting texts, often but not exclusively, in political context.

This “loyalty” to sporting clubs is all too familar for a lot of parents whatever sport their kids attend soccer/swimming. Clubs you don’t own the children. Down south if your child needs assistance with their sporting achievements they might have several coaches to assist. And clubs wonder why they can’t get members. Townsville is a too small a town to have dictator-like clubs. C.C. West End Watching channel 9 coverage of NRL,I can only watch it with the volume off when Gould is commentating. Anyone else?

When will you let the Cowboys run the ball on the 5th and if they don’t score, handover. Being too predictable is simply bad coaching. I B 4814

Pedro, Cranbrook. Get a grip, it was a good text from our old mate from W/end, but you have deviated from the task at hand, you should be telling us the mere fact that Jackie Trad will sell the property causing her to be under scrutiny for the price she paid for it as a admission of wrong doing. You should also be asking why the Premier firstly said that she had no case to answer which now seems contradictory to her agreeing to sell it. Perhaps you should also be keeping a close eye on who she sells it to. Ron Kelso.

Not wrong there Nels 4811, that’s the main reason why businesses use labour hire agencies. If you don’t fit into the way the organisation wants you to, safe or unsafe, you are not required the following day and there’s nothing you can do about it. Mick Oakvalley

Hi to the people who think the croc that was killed in Meunga Ck, Cardwell wasn’t Bismark (Pricey, Snoop etc) well your wrong! It was her as I’ve watched and had her next to my boat numerous times, then as my mate Ryan Moody did we went and had a look at the body. The new croc used to be in Wreck and Toad ck but now comes to town (and 2 other small ones) and has no problem eating a dog. Bismark seemed to be happy eating turtles and fish. I walk my dog a lot along the foreshore always on a lead but just like this weekend people let theirs go swimming? Even after warning them, they still don’t care. Be croc wise and no one would have a problem! Only one word for some, idiots. Cheers Shark 4849

So very sorry re the closure of Jamaica Blue at Castletown. To the Manager and all the lovely staff you will be missed for your great coffee, for your friendliness and family feel you created with your customers. Thanks for saving a “scone” for me. Meg (Margaret) Pimlico

Global Warming was first then came Climate Change now we have governments, council all declaring its a climate emergency! Which is it? These alarmists need to take a breath. I want to know what is the emergency. There is no doubt the world is changing, its been changing since

we come out of the Ice Age and will continue to change. Steve BG and others quote all these numbers and tell us what they read out of a book, google, or a documentary on the ABC. I’ve said this before how can you comment on these when you have never seen the actual data they enter. I am a scepti and I am still waiting for these predictions people like Al Gore have been telling us the Polar Caps and polar bears would be gone by 2018, then 2014, neither have happened. No countries have been completely flooded or the world will have no grain etc. I’m sorry but unless you have seen the data they actually put in not what they put in I’ll remain a sceptic. The world is not in a climate emergency its going ok and we will still be here in 10 yrs. The real question is with all these radical changes and billions upon billions being spent and in 10 years and nothing has changed we do we go then? Or do we push it out another 10 yrs? Sorry but its a scam and there’s nothing we can do about it. At least have a decent debate about it and not like the ABC and not invite someone from the other side to put there side across. Q&A is a perfect example of this. Glenn4810

What a load of rubbish the story on Adam Goodes was.. he is a great player, no one can deny that but he dragged that poor 13-yearold girl through wasn’t one if his good qualities.. white people get called horrid names by indigenous people at times and we have to grin and bear it.. what’s good for the goose is good for the gander.. black is no different to white people so everyone needs to stop this stupid nonsense, try and live together not against one another.
