What is it with Coasters who bag the number of Kiwis living here in Australia. What about the Ozzies who live in NZ, and the many other nationalities who also live here. Accept the fact that anyone can live where they choose. – Anzac

With 690,000 Kiwis living here no wonder there are so many Aussies out of work. This sucks we didn’t invade their country and take their jobs. – Born and bred Aussie

Canberra show ponies are to offer GPs more money for a longer consultation, will this mean an extra minute on top of the usual five? Some only give you a minute if you only need a script, don’t even check your blood pressure. KenW

Lovely sight outside Aldi Qcentre on Wed arvo. Man having ice cream but not before he gave his dogs one each first. Very touching.

What a waste of ratepayers money the GCCC is stamping squares into the bitumen on Surf Parade. Paul Taylor you have lost my vote with that and parking in Broadbeach. – Bert

All Blacks have huge advantage playing at Suncorp Stadium this Saturday. It’s a home game for them. – Ex Kiwi

Sick of hearing women whinge. How dare you open the door, the man got the job instead of me, l should be paid to have a baby. Blah blah. I used to respect women. – Dave

It’s not the towies that delay traffic on M1 but the police accident people who disregard traffic flow in order to spend hours investigating!

Bullying is a hot topic at the moment. My advice is if you are being bullied don’t stress about what nasty horrible low lifes think of you. Take it as a compliment that they see you as a better person than them. Listen to the nice people around you.

Gosh my wife and I may save $2 a week on our power. Wow! Maybe we can afford a cup of coffee each instead of sharing one. – Nev K I would like to know if Billy Cross lives in Surfers and how many times he has helped clean up the vomit and blood his patrons leave in the streets every morning. Pity Surfers residents if they all look at the place through his eyes.

Billy Cross’s comments are crass and disrespect Coast residents who are entitled to their opinion. Typical loudmouth rev head. Go home.

Good on Cr Daphne McDonald for her initiative for plastic to be used in road surfacing. To me, Daphne is the only councillor with common sense, clean & green ideas. – J

Re the article on Supercars truck convoy, since when has Tedder Ave been a gazetted B-Double route? Two sets of rules. Just wondering , luxury car tax was introduced to protect local car manufacturing, now we no longer have local car manufacturing does this mean luxury car tax will be abolished?

The penalty for commiting a crime should be changed from a maximum to a minimum sentence. – Barney

The biggest bottleneck on the M1 is the narrowing of lanes allowing Gateway bridge traffic to enter . You only get one lane to get onto the Gateway, why do they need two lanes to re enter the M1? – Roy

Top police award for investigation of Dreamworld tragedy. I always thought those awards were for investigating crimes, drugs and bikies activities, especially here on the Goldie. Not theme parks.
