Why do all the residents who live anywhere near Golf Links Drive have to suffer the extremely loud and prolonged motorbike rider/riders who almost nightly demonstrat­e to all residents just how loudly they can rev their bikes as they ride through the suburb. Surely, these motorbikes that can reach these decibel levels mustn’t be legal? And they certainly don’t exhibit any considerat­ion whatsoever for the community, especially at night! Whoever you are, we’re not impressed by your motorcycle skills, no matter how desperatel­y you try to get our attention!! M.J. 4817

Free swimming lessons are not what they appear to be. They are not for all children, only those

under 5 years. Only people with a concession card can get them. Only 15000 vouchers are available and they only pay for 2 months of lessons. Anna has given us very little but with lots of deception! Pete at Annandale

Re Amanda Fyfe the Voice. How can you say you agree with it when Albo wont release the exact wording. He wants everyone to just trust and believe him. Like the $275 savings on your power bill or the Medicare campaign with Shorten. The mere fact the exact details haven’t been released indicate its not what hes been saying publicly. Just another lie. Tom Rowes Bay

What a grand statesman our Prime Minister is becoming. If you don’t agree with the Yes vote you listen to soothsayer­s and jump at shadows. Usual spite coming from such a righteous and woke government. As for a Supreme Court judge calling a Federal MP a racist because he didn’t agree with the yes vote is abhorrent. Democracy fading into the sunset. Smithy 4818

Have noticed a markedly increased QPS presence in the CBD on the past week. Very appreciate­d by residents, the decrease in anti social behaviour is easy to see. Please keep it up. Glenn CBD

Bring on the extra private hospitals for our ageing population, you have

to be dying to get a ward bed in our state facilities and mostly have to wait for one. I don’t smoke, drink to excess and don’t gamble so it costs me $180 per month for top hospital cover, there’s always a private bed available and all the TLC an old man could wish for. Carl Fries, Pimlico.

Bring back Cobb & Co or the carrier pigeon. Just received an Easter card posted in Sydney on 20th March. Aust Post is beyond the joke. NEV 4814

Oh dear it seems that some folk are offended that the NRL, AFL, A League, Cricket Australia and other team sports seek to acknowledg­e the contributi­on of Indigenous

people to our local, state and national teams. A Yes Vote for the Voice will not be divisive, but inclusive, we include Indigenous people in our sports, why not include them in all that we do. GJ, Hyde Park

Poor Les Walker, another bungle and a doosie at that. A word of advice, a sense of entitlemen­t does not give you ultimate power, you need responsibi­lity first. Think next time. M J Reynolds Mt Louisa.
