I RECENTLY heard that the Kiwis have fibre optic to the premises unlike our own, sad, NBN roll out.
The claim it is easier in NZ due to size and population are absurd. After all, that is only relevant if you also acknowledge Australia has six times the human resource and likely 100 times the mineral resource.
What a joke! Good on you Kiwis, you have the foresight to build meaningful infrastructure. BARRY C, CARRARA
IT WAS ice, not global warming, that killed millions of mammoths and woolly rhinos.
It was unrelenting cold, not global warming, that forced the Vikings out of Greenland.
It was bitter winters, not heatwaves, that finally defeated Napoleon and Hitler in Russia.
Snowy blizzards periodically kill more cattle than heatwaves in Colorado, South Dakota and Texas.
When the Tambora volcano exploded in 1816 it spewed massive volumes of ash and “greenhouse” gases including carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
There was no global warming from the greenhouse gases, but the heat-blocking ash-filled atmosphere and a quiet sun caused “the year without a summer”.
Failed crops and famine stalked Europe, Asia and America.
Every major geological era has ended with massive volcanism on land and also under the seas.
Molten lava heats the seas and eruptions on land fill the atmosphere with dust which blocks incoming solar energy. There is rapid evaporation from the warm seas followed by rapid condensation in the cold dark atmosphere.
This process dumps massive snowfalls which become ice sheets on land, starting a new ice age. It is global cooling we need to fear, not life-sustaining global warming. VIV FORBES
GET your head out of the sand Anna, you’re not in Disneyland anymore.
The Gold Coast needed the Cruise Ship Terminal not Brisbane, they already have one. Develop the Spit, and give 40,000 students a chance of a job.
Recently more than 800 people applied for two part-time jobs at Harbour Town. This is disgusting.
Develop the Spit, and bring tourist dollars to the Gold Coast by ship and not by the M1. NANA VIV
IT HAS just been reported that five teenagers in the US have been charged with murder and face a life sentence for throwing a rock from an overpass down on to a vehicle killing an occupant.
Compare that with our judiciary who would possibly have acquitted them on a good behaviour bond.
Our judiciary are guilty of dereliction of duty on a daily basis and the statistics show this. DR G. SAYER, GOLD COAST
CONTRARY to claims bordering on sacrilege by LNP politician John-Paul Langbroek, the true and undisputed queen of the Gold Coast is Cr Dawn Crichlow, and not state Labor’s Kate Jones.
Let’s hear no more malarky like this from him. DAVID HALL, LABRADOR
