So Judy Spence appreciates the beauty and idyllic nature of the Spit. She must be joking ... anytime I go there it's full of unlawful campers cig. butts rubbish and dog poo. Broadwater Boy

If public transport (tram) is so desperately needed to go to the airport why do you never see the, faster, cheaper, every 15 mins, double-decker buses which now run to the airport anywhere near full. It simply proves the argument wrong that a slower/way more costly tram is needed. Blind Freddie could see that. It’s a con job. KJ.

The African athletes that went home got the sporting hero welcome home, and rest got persecuted, YEAH RIGHT!

Dear Ken, State Govs always had the power to sack councils. It's not new. -Marco Polo

Wife, kids and I were catching Tram at Broadbeach South at 915pm last night VERY scared of feral kids asking for money and smokes and abuse NO police or security anywhere. Ashmore resident.

How is this Turnbull, you can tell he couldn't give a rat if it was voted out, he is in it for the former PM lifetime handouts, how dare I work for 530,000 a year, I am Turnbull the golden handshake Queen.

In reply to Flynn Mcfarlane. YP Gold Coast president, have you looked out your window lately to see the chaos brought on by the light rail system? Businesses in Southport, Surfers Paradise and Broadbeach have experienced business losses from narrow-minded, egocentric, pilfers like Gold coast city council. In hindsight you can see the whole strip along the glink line will be closing their doors. All this so-called infrastructure building at a cost to businesses. You will have more empty stores with a tramline smack in the middle. Do your homework YP president.

Hey Grey & Flynn, if you live to the south of Burleigh you would have noticed the excellent bus services provided by Surfside and TransLink buses. TBM

Re. the cunning leftie takeover of universities. Some decades ago, when I was a struggling student at UQ, trying to attain a BA with history majors . I soon realised very fast that if u wanted good marks . u had to write all your assignments with a very pro-leftie bias . to get that magic piece of paper.

What previous govt fools built

our sporting stadiums so far away from the train line . and also didn't put in sufficient public parking spaces next to them?

I would like to know who the GCCC think they are. Asked to leave the public gallery/ viewing area to discuss 'closed matters'. As far as I'm concerned, and every other ratepayer should be, there ARE NO CLOSED MATTERS when it comes to OUR city council. Every single matter should be available to the public, a.k.a ratepayers/ the actual owners of the GCCC, at every instance no matter what! This skulduggery and behind closed doors BS needs to stop NOW! John W

To the mischievous, cunning greenie, spreading ’fake news’ re the spit oceanside GC CST. All cruise ships are not allowed to discharge sewerage etc, in any port in OZ.. period.

When will city council start policing the dogs of leads and the people that don't pick-up there dog droppings as well? in koala habitat parks at Paradise Point they are scaring the wild life away please! The strongest rugby nations in the world. Springboks.. Ireland England all breathed a sigh of relief when John Eales retired. noel

Fact. 1600 coal fired power stations being built around the world. We're shutting down ours. The lunatics are running the Asylum. Don.

Judges, stop handing down weak sentences to women who have done wrong because they claim it was down to their childhood, they have children or drink. These are not excuses if you do wrong to avoid jail time! Get real and let's have mandatory minimum sentencing for all crimes. Maybe people would think twice before breaking the law.

Keep on Saving the Spit and all public lands from development It's part of Destination Gold Coast and tourism

People are too sensitive today. And there's always an organisation outraged. I'm going to start my own outrage movement: gay, red haired dads against cats. Now to prepare myself for the backlash from gay, brown haired dads against dogs. - Rick
