I thought Australia was a country united in thought and action but it seems it is seven different “countries” with vastly different thoughts and actions, each being run by Premiers who think that their “country “should be different from each of the others. No wonder we have problems at this time with economic recovery a long way off. Get rid of state government­s and have some unity so we can get Australia back to a country to be proud of. At the moment it’s dysfunctio­nal. GN

have picked up the symptoms of the “Titanitis” fever. When you have this fever the team loses all ability to make tackles and to defend at all such as the team that this fever is named after. Bear.

The reason Peter V’landys is the best sports administra­tor isn’t just because of the early resumption of the NRL season but also wanting crowds back at games safely by July 1st, which he should achieve. However his biggest coup would be if he gets the State Government to redirect the $800 million saved from the ANZ Stadium to build 3 new boutique 20,000 seat suburban ones by leveraging the grand final away from Sydney and also all State of Origins.

Wait list time for procedures at GC public hospitals are a disgrace. Twelve months wait just for a consultati­on for knee replacemen­t, cataracts or colonoscop­y. This is all pre virus.

With the emphasis on the pitiful number of patrons allowed into food and beverage outlets, I ask how or what about pubs and clubs with the government reliant tax base from pokies going to be opened? Confined spaces, side-by-side for hours all donating direct to the govt tax base. Has the spine of this industry finally been broken?

What is the difference between the K. Rudd/Wayne Swan government and the ScoMo/Josh Frydenberg government? Answer: Rudd and Swan have more hair.

The Australian public needs to know the difference between RSL Sub Branch, ADF Veteran support, and RSL

Clubs, profit-making pokies and cheep beer, nothing to do with Veterans at all. Do NOT support clubs! The Federal Government, DVA, ADF, and the Minister for Veteran Affairs need to make it illegal to fraudulent­ly mislead the public by allowing these clubs to use RSL branding. It’s immoral, and as a Veteran of the Middle East, it’s personally insulting.

Sports and crowds allowed in the NT. Have the State of Origin there unless Annastacia and Gladys get it together by the end of June. Johnbrew

I reckon the Broncos were lucky to score 0.

Lefties and right wingers are both very opinionate­d and shout it from the rooftops! Thank god for the fair-minded middle! Stan, Tallebudge­ra
