Ian Timmins boo hooing about Coles reintroduc­ing free plastic bags, I suggest he join a greenie club like Gecko who are against a CST

Has the Qld Labor Party lost their marbles? Tourist Minister Kate Jones reckons there will be no poker machines in a second casino. A casino without pokies is the same as a pub with no beer. Voters need to dump this loony Labor Gov at the next election. David, an Accountant

Just thinking why don't we have those water planes that put out fires do a run over drought affected farm land. SF

I hope that ‘Bambi’ the dog’s owners, from Upper Coomera make sure she is kept safe and securely behind a fence on their own property. I’m sick of irresponsi­ble dog owners. Old Crock GC

Can anyone enlighten me as to what happens to the effluent from the yachts and house boats that are moored at the northern and western sides of wave break island. Most have people living on them but never seem to go and have their holding tanks pumped out, makes you wonder. Just interested

The worst off person in Australia today is a single white working male with no children. My sister is a single Mum with two children and has a higher disposable income than I do and I work full time.

To LS. But the rich don’t do the work the poor do while the rich sit on their asses watching.

I agree with Diz (2/8 Bulle) Lady Cilento Children's Public Hospital says it all and continues to respect the life of the great Lady. Doug

Well done AFL. Free agency making the strong clubs stronger and the weak clubs weaker. Thanks for your loyalty to a club that nurtured you and made you a decent player Lynch. How can the Suns ever be anything but a weak club. Great equity in the competitio­n. McLauchlan you are a joke. Don Capri

Good to see Barnaby Joyce worried about paparazzi when farmers are in dire straights. He has sat there and watched as lnp passed free trade agreements to let cheap imports into country. And the banks are screwing them while he backs a massive tax cut for their billions in profits. Should not have got back in after dual citizen dribble like LNP is saying about Labour MP.

Ken Wade, Tweed Heads. You live in NSW so you have nothing to worry about. If you look at the statistics police account for more crime than bikies and from what you see being reported by the media you have more chance of being bashed or even shot by them. A vote for the LNP means more money for the rich.

To the gator fan. Got some concrete to sprinkle on ya twinkies. Harden up. Hoggy hog 4eva

Turnbull without our approval intends to follow the terms of the Paris Agreement. Part of this requires the killing of 30 million animals, cattle, sheep and pigs. So we need Turnbull to tell us how and when this will be done and what about the farmers who will lose all their stock and does it include the rationing of meat sales and export- Ozman

Dennis Fitzgerald (Your Views 2nd Aug) belittles the wall to be built by Trump. On the border between Mexico & Guatemala, Mexico built a wall to keep THEIR southern neighbours out, but we never hear about that, do we? John Mc The closing ceremony of the Commonweal­th Games has always been a celebratio­n of the athletes, a chance for the best of local artists to perform for an internatio­nal audience and just a chance for everyone to have a good time. Three things left out of our Games. Simple solution, don't change what has always worked. Graz

Re the Bendigo tradie that paid for elderly mans maccas - why was girlfriend filming? There are so many people doing kind things for others without being filmed. Why did she need to film it - just to get attention I bet!

Sampancho. Sam, if it’s any comfort to know, you and I are not the only ones who think the magistrate­s and courts are an absolute farce regarding sentencing, but in this day and age u just have to keep your head down or we’ll be taken to court and sentenced to “life”. Km

Curious about the Commonweal­th Games figures in Thur GCB. Is the 4 Billion economy boost and the 1.7 Billion injection to the GC economy before or after the outgoings and expenses? It would be interestin­g to see a detailed balance sheet detailing how these figures are obtained. Just curious Pedropalmy

Why are all these greenie groups today led by female spokespers­ons trying to act tough with their demands, what has happened to their femininity and where are their men, hiding in the wardrobe? In our day the men were the leaders like my late husband was, not like todays weak men. Cathy, retired farmer.
