Ron Stone, Letters 24/04/23 Chips & Chups, No surprise you could not find a TAFE course to learn the Kiwi language, it is after all English. You would probably been better off getting a hearing check with an Audiologis­t. KIWI, AITKENVALE 4814.

A huge thanks to Kyle Feldt, Jake Granville, Coen Hess and the other Cowboys players who made the effort to visit fans in the Eastern Grandstand after the game on Saturday. Lots of smiles from the young fans. We don’t often get the players over that way after the games so it was great to see the boys come over. Great to see a win. CHRISTINE MT LOW

Lidia Thorpe, is she the “strong, empowered, proud black woman fighting for her people” or is she “an outspoken, foul mouthed, rude, disrespect­ful, reverse racist that has single-handedly set back peoples attitudes toward Australia’s First Nation people” You be the judge. MOUNT LOW MURDY

The date of the “Voice” referendum has not been announced yet but the division is there and becoming more evident each day. My point, why are we, As a Nation, dividing this Country? M J REYNOLDS MT LOUISA

Don’t we all feel warm and fuzzy knowing prostituti­on has been legalised in QLD Val V North Ward Joyce I’m with Phil Thompson and Jacinta Price, definitely a no vote for me, CRIS WULGURU.

Indigenous friends and acknowledg­e their ancestors were the original owners of this land and my people have committed great atrocities towards them. I say it is interestin­g because every person in our great nation has the right to an opinion and the right to voice that opinion. I try to understand the opposition to the proposal but I really can’t. It is for the original

owners ancestors of this land to have a voice in parliament. My departed father told me as a youth that racism is a disease but unlike other diseases it is an Environmen­tal disease, not one we are born with it. It is taught at an early age and becomes a way of life. I abhor racism of any kind. I am no more or no less a human being than my fellow man. I will vote YES. For people of all colour. MICK D. IDALIA 4811.

Just told 50% of Aussies don’t believe the 32 Olympics will be delivered on time and budget, well this Palaszczuk government would sacrifice every Queensland­er for this glory. 1 billion just to revamp the Gabba plus eight more years of unknown cost but true to form, Stirling Hinchliff Minister Tourism and Industry developmen­t today vouched the unknown. Our parliament really needs a profession­al Court Jester and get rid of the clowns. W WENCK, CURRAJONG.

You may have trimmed up TTE but the Bros from Kelso, Ron and Reb still seem to make an appearance everyday with their puerile comments, there must be something positive you can find to say RAB4814
