CHATROOM

So a church (C of E) which was founded by King Henry VIII because he wanted to divorce his latest wife, rather than chop her head off, has donated $1m to No campaign. That takes the cake for irony and hypocrisy. Tax them! – Col

Chevron Island could have been a conservation and wildlife refuge, a green jewel, instead it’s another overbuilt chunk of suburbia. And this is “planned”? – LP

Does council still have streetsweeper from Musgrave Hill Bowlo down Government Rd to Brisbane Rd is full of leaves, and you wonder why drains overflow. Council trucks drive past daily, one sat stationery for two hours surrounded by witches hats in Ashton St, with the workers in truck on mobiles. – Tassie Tiger

To be night mayor you would have to be awake. – Rocket

I have read because an area is in walking distance of a light rail station it is considered a high density area and there are no height limits! Is this the reason for Burleigh getting a light rail, so council can invade the area with more highrise!?

Fred, yes, motorcyclists are allowed to use the bicycle lane to get to front of traffic, when traffic has stopped & when not being used by a bicycle. – John Mc

How smart is our council. approving a 210 unit highrise on Stanhill Drive chevron island only 50m from busiest roundabout where at least 60 tenants cars will have to park because of one car park rule.

Go the Diamonds. They have demolished the Kiwis in the netball. Love it. – True Blue

Picture says a thousand words! Scarlett Godden (GCB, 12/10) must be best feel-good story of the year. So happy the surgery has worked so well, and sure you were a brave girl throughout. – Queenie

What an astounding statement from Justice Burns to Matthew Scown in relation to the death of Tyrell Cobb: “Clearly you were very worried about the little boy.”

Kathy Merchant, thankyou for your comments regarding the dreadful treatment the Vietnam Veterans received. By chance, yesterday I was sorting out old paperwork and came across the obituary of an exboyfriend of mine. He served in the US forces and received the bronze star medal for bravery. He took his life in 2000, a day before his 55th birthday.

Yes, but Kathy Merchant, Aussie soldiers shouldn’t of been in Vietnam, they should have said no to our government. – Clarance

Another criminal released from jail on bail – killed an innocent woman. Those judges are the real criminals. Every time you release criminal you have got blood on your hands. Class action is a must!

Need a Trump NSW/QLD border fence, we need Sydney’s culture like a hole in the head. – Mick

Great to see Thai gov’t has banned smokers from their beaches. Fine is 100,000 baht or off to jail. Could GCCC be strong enough to enforce some form of punishment? – Local

All the people coming out about Harvey Weinstein, why did they not do anything about it before!? Careers before doing right thing? – Mikj

Trafficman, most cyclists are already paying car rego but choose to cycle, reducing pollution and gridlocks, any money raised would go to bureaucrats. – Mulga Bill
