It’s no wonder crime under the current QLD Gov has been rapidly rising. Petty criminals get off with no penalty or conviction record. Hardened criminals with vast historic rap sheets get instant parole. The courts have turned into a bunch of kind Nanas. Why? Because the QLD Gov has no room in jails for these monkeys in our overcrowded system and the state is close to broke. Doug

A person completely covered by a moslem burqa could be anything ... Man, woman, trannie or just a motorised skeleton. So scary in this age of terrorism. Get rid of burqas now!

2nd M1 years away according to Labor Gov. Great – that will hopefully mean you are gone at the next election. You had years to do something Ex Labor voter, Elanora

What makes Tori Giacomantonio think that parents will want their kids left in her care? Shame on you lady.

The din of calls for a M1 duplication must be tempered by the fact it passes through SEQ’s highest density koala population, so all those people saving 1/2 hour will have blood on their hands. Jeff Davison, Southport

Ex NZ-er. (whatever that is) After that shambolic sporting display at our Games, can you hope for a better performance in the Bledisloe ... given we won the last game also? Noel

I guess the only way to keep the studios working is to give money overseas as all we make now is reality tv – not much drama shows anymore is there? - Terry

Scott Morrison announces a 5 billion surplus one year earlier than previously predicted. Foreign Minister Julie Bishop expressed surprise and told the PM not to worry, she could give that away in less than an hour. GT

In the average Australian federal budget overrun sweepstakes Wayne Swan comes in at -19 billion per year, Joe Hockey comes in at -7 billion per year and Scott Morrison comes in at -0.5 billion per year so far.

Is it appropriate for young children to march in a Labor Day march?

Oh no! Labor trying to pull the wool over our eyes re live animal exports (pardon the pun). Let’s not forget all the other broken promises in the past. Don’t be fooled again Old chook

What a country, we would rather educate foreign kids with more money than our kids from humble backgrounds whose parents battle. Ted

Just watching the Channel 9 news. Could someone please tell them that it is TUGUN and not Tugan?

Newstart and the dole are meant to be a hand up NOT a lifestyle choice!

ABC should stand for Always Biased Critic. What a waste of taxpayers’ money.

All the hype on the GC property market is rubbish. Comm

Games, all the super yachts? What superyachts? Light rail and all the spin off? What spin off? Typical GC hype. Delusional one day, more so the next.

No name re voting Labor over live sheep export means you are now voting for live refugee imports, many of whom will die at sea. - Ozman

Does Scott Morrison have an off button, no, I didn't think so. He’s waffled on so much in the past few days, it should be a short budget presentation. GT

Every level of government has their hands in our pocket. At the end of the day it’s all our money ... Just pay the 1 billion and fix the M1 NOW. Palmyboy

I work for a living around Burleigh/Miami area at night. What amazes me is the number of police who regularly patrol this area fining motorists but drive past bicycle riders who have no lights, no helmets, wear dark clothing, riding wrong side of the road. These riders are going to get killed if they are not fined or get put off the road. Act now. Gz

What do we need most, a 5 billion hole under the Brisbane River or a new highway from Brisbane to the Gold Coast. Just a thought

Apparently Lake Hugh Muntz has a toxic algae bloom. Simply fill it in, build a carpark and rent it out for a dollar per year! Problem solved. Grey

Memo to Beau Malone and associated union hacks: much better to let people think you’re a tool than opening your trap and proving it!
