CHATROOM

After spending a huge amount of ratepayers money on the CST and the red dot we now have neither. Some of those in council only use their head to keep their ears apart. Barney.

Why are gold coasters doing it so tough with expensive rates and water charges and parking charges when the council are spending like drunken sailors. They should be sacked.

GC Bulletin May 16. I’m a rate payer & I agree with Dawn, we shouldn’t be funding study after study, the developers should be funding the rate payers.

To the person complaining about how channel 7 news is poor. Simply tune into the ABC for quality and balanced news reporting and ad free, too. Grey.

As a taxpayer I surely have the right to ask why Surfers Paradise firefighters need to frequently attend Budds Beach for coffee. Hard enough to find a park without 2 fire trucks there all the time! Tom, local resident.

Many thanks to Amber, a lovely young TAFE student who helped me when I tripped over a piece of discarded wire fencing in Southport and career path. June fell heavily. She insisted on seeing me safely to my destination. She is studying Community Service and has clearly chosen the right path.

Playboy, well I am horrified as I am going to Hell when my time comes because I believe that is where all the fun is had. SAS.

Thank you Paul Weston & Deborah Kelly for your determination in making the facts available to the public. Why is the member for Surfers defending the indefensible? RA.

If you need to cough during a cold or flu then, for hygienic reasons, cough into your elbow not your hand. Dr J.

So many American families will suffer now that their Supreme Court has legalised sports gambling in all USA states. Les Bet Eagleby.

I bet the Gestapo parking inspectors are looking forward to Blues on Broadbeach. The GCCC are probably running a sweep for who ever writes the most tickets. Mr c.

Please Dawn Crichlow just go and put your feet up in a nursing home. You have already halted progress in Southport, closed the tunnel to the Broadwater Parklands, now you don’t want the CST. Broadwater Boy. It has been reported that most of the $80 billion company tax cuts promised by Morrison will be funded by bracket creep. So work harder and earn more, our big corporations need your taxes.

Loved Eurovision. A great platform for Australia to spread its cheer. Can’t wait to next year. Congrats Israel!

In response to Ron Mac’s petty complaint about an ambulance doing an illegal U-turn and shopping for some takeaway! Haven’t you got something better to whinge about? Queensland Ambulance provide an amazing service to the community. I know for a fact that sometimes on a 12-hour shift they don’t get a chance to sit down for a rest or to eat. Obviously Ron has too much time on his hands. Cut them some slack!

The only way to fix this dual citizenship problem is to have a referendum to change the Constitution, according to numerous politicians. Why go to the expense and inconvenience to the whole country just to accommodate a handful of people who can’t get their act together. Well, it’s not the only way. All we need is for any prospective nominee to get their act together.

GC Titans, don’t try 2 buy a team. How about building one 4 a change.

Who has the laziest partner? Mine hoped it rained so he didn’t have to take the washing off the line that I hung out.

Who’s going to walk Meghan down the aisle? Really people think about it. My darling father understood that I was not his property to be given to someone else. My husband-tobe and I walked down the aisle together. TP.

I believe the GCCC has sunk to a new level with the fines handed out with inadequate “no parking signage”. ABC at it again. Millions in bonuses, others jet setting around the world. Time to slash their Budget $100 Million a year for 5 years. Also scrap SBS, it’s irrelevant. Get a Real Job. Don.

Dedicated Teachers do at least 40 hours per week in the workplace and get no more than 4 to 6 weeks real vacation time each year. Rev SF.

Why is the Qld government not getting the GC cruise ship terminal built. I would rather get on and off a cruise ship here in the tourists capital of Australia, then in Brissy. Jobs for GC go cruising past. Zac.

Charlie, just because we are the tourist capital doesn't mean we have to have a CST . Obviously we forgot to read the paper on Wednesday or have zero understanding of anything. JJ.
