The real problems are with the Parole Board. Only class action and shutting down this crazy organisation will bring some fairness to this hopelessly weak legal system in this country!

V8 Supercar hangover: Not only are our beautiful parks still scarred from rich boys’ toy event (council workers doing a good job to repair), the Narrowneck waterway is still plagued with a navigational hazard. Heliport floating walkway still creating dangers with non-lit markers and floating ropes ready to affect water users. Enough is enough. This city and residents has had enough of “dump and go” promoters.

All those bikies charged … how many actually went to jail? Or did Gold Coast judges preside?

The Barnaby Joyce issue. Who has the lowest morals, Barnaby or the NP party members who voted for him in preselection? I don’t think he should even be in parliament. As he has made it clear he has no morals.

What is it with Shane Warne bagging the Aussies every chance he gets, ball by ball, over by over. Now he wants the batting coach sacked. Instead of encouraging and looking for positives and having patience through this transition period, he overloads with negatives, talking over the other commentators. Bless you whoever invented the mute button. Basil, Mudgeeraba

Congrats to Ireland for win against All Blacks. makes the World Cup a lot more interesting now. Doug

Why are people still buying or building homes in the Coomera area when they know traffic is at a complete standstill day after day yet whinge about it. Why not buy over the border where traffic chaos is unheard of. MarkSue, Tweed Heads.

I am an Uber driver and I can’t get over how many homeless people are living on the streets in the Southport CBD at night. It’s so sad.

Are Australian cricketers the most overrated and over paid sport persons in the country? Reggie

Climate change propaganda is just like fairy floss … easy to swallow but melts away into nothing.

RE ‘the climate has always changed’ – yes, it has. Unfortunately, though, the systems that sustain billions of human lives today are built around a climate that was 0.8C cooler pre industrial revolution. Last

time CO2 was 400ppm in atmosphere was around 3.6 million years ago. Google the Pliocene to find out what the climate was like back then. Best estimate for us in business as usual is around 4 degrees of warming by end of the century. Let’s act on climate. Jimmy

To the best of the GC re Gelato ice cream. In the new Westfield/Coomera there is a lovely gelato ice cream place too ... tucked away a bit … but yummy ice cream once you eat it.

What is Andrew Bolt’s agenda when he starts ridiculing other communities who are different to him? Surely it must be that he is a racist individual who is just looking for a controversy that sells at often minority expense. Why is he and Pauline Hanson so ignorant?

No job, no dole? Time to play the sue me sue you blues.

Again the police have seized massive amounts of drugs destined for Schoolies, which tells you schoolies buy loads of drugs. Ban it now.

Gold Coast Airport have just raised parking fees by up to 25 per cent. This is an absolute price gouge because of the monopoly they hold. Secondrate airport but first-rate ripoff merchant. Graham, frequent user.

Young girls seem to be wearing less and less fabric when they go out clubbing these days. Do they have no self respect? They may be of drinking age but many are still only teenagers. Please parents, do some parenting. Zeb

So the “tough” hoon makes a disparaging remark to a woman as he leaves the courthouse after having his application refused for relaxed bail conditions. What a piece of work! Good on you Bunnings for sacking this loser. No one needs their brand associated with grubs like this.

When walking a greyhound you have to have them muzzled and they are a gentle breed so muzzling the unknown breeds makes a lot of sense especially to the owners of pets who have had their killed or permanently maimed. An easy fix to a big problem. rocket

What peevs me is people with their dog off the leash who think it’s ok for their dog just to run up to your dog on a leash. Be responsible and leash your dogs on the beach where you are required by law.

Give it up Black Swan protesters. You’ve lost. Accept the umpire’s decision and let these workers do their jobs.

Can’t wait for Panchos to reopen out the back of Mudgeeraba. Great restaurant, missed by many locals.

Have to agree with Simples. No body, no fresh air for Mr Patea.
