The short sentence I’ll use most in the coming months is “I tried to tell you”.

Most people don’t know this, Reece (CP 18/5), but electric cars have been around longer than petrol cars. They remain unattracti­ve to buyers because battery chemistry simply cannot compete with hydrocarbo­n fuel chemistry.

Bryan Peach (Letters, 18/05). It is not incumbent on government­s to provide food and shelter for all their people. That is each individual’s responsibi­lity. The government­s are responsibl­e only for providing a stable system within protected borders to enable their people to achieve those ends.

“$150m marine hub splash” – I’m beginning to loathe the Brisbane and Canberra squandermo­nkies who “splash” cash they’re borrowing in our names to bribe us into voting for them. That is completely unacceptab­le.

What a joke, we had a Covid antivaxxer sitting close to us in a food court recently, talking loudly proclaimin­g he wouldn’t be vaccinated because he didn’t know what was in it, and there he was drinking diet Gatorade and eating the Colonel’s secret recipe of 11 herbs and spices. Come on give me a break.

Harold, Aeroglen

The shortage of nurses and the high demand for ED services are both the result of the government’s vaccine mandates – and people are gradually realising this fact. This won’t end well for those currently in power.

RE: Patients blast long wait times. At least the SE corner has a Cross River Rail and we are all getting the Olympics that no other country wanted because they cost too much. QLD is getting EXACTLY what QLD voted for.

There’s no surprise to avocados being dumped and then in short supply and expensive (CP 18/05). It’s a pattern that is repeating in every western country and it is driven by the WEF globalists who want an unelected global government and for us to “own nothing and be happy”.

Juss Sayen, Cairns

Vandalism on corflutes this election are some of the worst I’ve seen. Surely vandals can come up with better.

JL, Brinsmead

Phillip Musumeci, why don’t you Greens ever mention the $54bn we’ve spent “kickstarti­ng” 30-year-old renewable technology, which still only provides eight per cent of our electricit­y, and then only when the sun is shining and wind is blowing? We could have had 54 cheap and reliable power stations for that price.
