I know for a fact many drivers are colourblind. I saw three vehicles run a red light at exit 54. We need more red light cameras on the Gold Coast. Charlie.

Where in Surfers Paradise or thereabouts can I buy a pump type hooter for my immobility scooter?

Oh how wonderful to see the supermarkets getting rid of plastic bags because they kill turtles. What about they get rid of tobacco products as they kill people, but, oh no, profits first. Aldi don’t sell tobacco so come on Coles and Woolies. Ray.

Titans fail, send NRL back to New South Wales were it belongs!

Green mentality – drive a 2tonne car to save 10 plastic bags. Marco Polo.

The letter to the Editor from G Agnew re: Australia becoming a Republic. Why? The world’s top 10 most desirable nations to live, Norway, Denmark, Sweden. Holland, England, Belgium, Spain, Australia, New Zealand, Canada all are Christian Kingdoms.

Well the QM2 won’t be coming to the coast but let’s hope the rest do and bring main beach with it’s 30 closed shops back to life. Rocket.

Congratulations to the USA, for exiting the UN corrupt Human Rights Organisation. Australia will never follow on this one as our weak politicians can’t make an informed decision opting instead to waste hundreds of millions on foreign aid to prop up those corrupt governments knowing well that not one cent will go to the needy.

Trump came, saw and conquered .... And ever since then lefties all over the world have gone absolutely ape. So satisfying to see them wail and weep after doing untold damage to their people and country. Hallelujah!

Texting twits driving all around the Gold Coast. I ride a bike to keep fit and keep seeing head down drivers not fit to have a licence. Slam them!

My, my, my ... How precious are some of these anti cableway people. A few tree leaves may be affected. Strewth, how silly are their arguments while cableways all over the world are so popular and flourish .

Re: Gavin of HI and the nameless rebuttal. First there is no QM2, just the Queen Mary. Second, QM does dock in Sydney Harbour. There are wharves there that can, in fact, accommodate ships even bigger

than QM. The GC CST, if it goes ahead, will easily berth her. Cruiser.

To you “no more plastic bag whingers”, as a pensioner and ex-diver I have had reusable bags for years. Grow up and get over it. Grandad. All cyclists should follow the lead of Gold Coast master cycling club and have their races on designated safe venues like Nerang velodrome.

A day does not go buy without a newspaper, TV segment or social media post mentioning deflating house prices. In 2013 the housing bubble was a conspiracy theory. Now it’s a reality. Look out Australia. Wendy.

If I had the choice I would rather pay to watch the warship get scuttled than spend all that money on the Comm Games!! Total waste of money. The warship would leave a better legacy and provide awesome fishing and diving. That means tourists folks.

I remember the time when the groceries went into brown paper bags and the household rubbish was wrapped in newspaper as was fish & chips and meat from the butcher. Barney.

All these plastic bag whingers, we were warned of the ban months ago so common sense would normally prevail and you would collect good, reusable ones for the future. As I said it was common sense to do the obvious. Duh. Leigh the Cabbie.

All this fuss about plastic bags. You don’t have to worry any more your tax cut should buy you about 15 a week at 15c each. Some of you might have to wait a year or two though, until you get the very generous tax cut. Cannot thank you enough Mr Turnbull.

Brian the retired ADF Major you might have been referring to me because I said I was freezing? Well my friend I served in the British Army for over 20 years and saw action in Borneo and Malaya in the 50s and finished with a bullet in the leg as a Gurkha Major so I don’t need to be hardening up by the likes of you my friend. No hard feelings. (JP) James P McGuire.

Turnbull people on 100 grand don’t need a tax cut. Battlers on less than $50,000 do. The peasants will punish u for your unempathetic, cold hearted, and uncaring attitude and foolishness, come next election. Mao Tse-Tung.

Peter Beattie: just finished watching PNG flog Fiji in the rugby league. To include a Port Moresby team in the NRL is a mega no-brainer.

Went to the mudgeeraba show sat night … wow! Saw motorbike v horse. All l can say is that girl can ride. A very gifted rider.
