Re: Mao high wage earners do deserve a tax cut. Why if someone is skilled enough or intelligent enough should they pay, in some cases, almost half their pay in tax. Remember that all earners above 87k pay for 65 per cent of everything. Jim, the low wage earner

So they banned plastic bags to save the world but don’t worry about the uranium the government is digging up to sell overseas. Please don’t treat the Australian people like morons. We know it’s all a load agent orange

Distressing seeing pictures of dead, injured and homeless koalas. What has happened to promised Borobi Reserve as legacy from Comm Games? Absolute disgrace

A good kicker with all the facets, to replace Thurston in the latest State of Origin, would have given us the edge. We have such a man. His name is Ash Taylor.

OMG I am so over every second person calling me bro or cuz! What happened to how ya going mate? Hawk

From Dalby to Derby, Geelong to Geebung, the Bully’s the paper I read. Leigh the Cabbie

Why is it such an issue for peeps and hard leftist union types that people have more of their hard-earned money in their pocket? We are one of the highest taxed countries in the world. The less to the troughs the better! Then people might have bit more power and Gov can manage budgets better instead of squandering. - Thorted

Centrelink, thank you for stopping my wife’s and my pension this week. My wife is a nurse, got bored at home so went back to work. Nurses don’t get much wages but enough to stop our pension. Thank you again for putting us back on the bread line. Glyn

Titans doing better than the Suns ......

Christian Kingdoms, you also forgot to include Scotland, Ireland and Wales and I assume a few more countries? Go the Royalist anytime. James P McGuire

I agree with u Ray (GCB 25/6). And I’m a smoker at 41. I struggle with kicking the filthy habit of smoking. If

they weren’t there to buy, I would have a choice but to quit. And in the end what a better country we would have – the positives are endless, more beds in hospitals, a cleaner country, it goes on.

Commercial rents in Broadie 200K a year? The Salvation Army property is for sale in Palmie for 446K and it’ll be yours. Get your calculators out Broadie restaurant owners. It’s in the same block as

the GC Hwy and 300m to the beach. John, Palm Beach

The Gold Coast needs a filip. Dive site plus cable car Nerang to Mt Tamborine. Dredging for CST far too expensive. Check feasibility to fast ferry visitors from cruise liners putting into Brisbane?

What sort of city do you want to live in? If you have a ‘crash cam’ in your car and you don’t like what you’ve seen, stop just complaining. Take a proactive approach, send it to the police, report it on the hoon site. You may be saving a child’s life. Let’s name and shame these dangerous idiots and get them off the roads.

Bernadette Callaghan says no young people she knows read newspapers. That’s probably because they are the illiterate young criminals she gave “soft” sentences to during her time as a magistrate. HR

So I’ve just been to Woolworths, I rekon 90 per cent of what I bought was bagged in plastic. No plastic bags but they will sell you one for 15 cents, go figure! Tim

They want to change the Spit’s name again. How about put it back to its former name, Nerang Head, and the Seaway Moondarewa point. Ray, Nerang

What a con! Petrol goes up, diesel comes down … diesel goes up, petrol goes down. Ripped off again. Ron

Can Someone please tell the TV executives that NOBODY Loves Raymond!

Re the whinger complaining about NAB Bank closure. Have you not heard of those magic machines that give you cash? As a last resort you can get it when you buy your groceries. Teehee. Pacific Pines.

I suddenly have a desire to lose a million dollars. I’ll open a restaurant on the Gold Coast and serve over-priced, hipster, trendy smashed avo with chia seeds and coconut oil dressing. Preparing my bankruptcy forms now. Ted
