HOW convenient the registration stickers were scrapped. Many, as I did always had it there as a reminder. As when you are busy, it’s easier to just see it in front of you ..... So then you realise the rego runs out the next day & you go to pay by phone … well the phonepay has ended too. So how much have they gained too by removing this last minute chance done by many to avoid overdue fees? Coincidence? don’t think so. Not everyone uses the net for this. So now it’s visit the registration office for many & wait to pay.

Good to see a surge in attendance at the new church in Robina. I think the world would be a better place with more Christianity, especially in schools like it used to be. RB

With the absolute millions spent on the horses, sports games, pokies etc., why in God’s name is “2 up” treated as if Satan himself is behind it? Wots so evil about it? Old Crock GC

SCHOOLIES … To the 3 scooter riding NO BRAIN fool who can’t read a “don’t walk“traffic signal - how I missed hitting you all is beyond me … sure I abused the crap out of you and all you did was smile and scream and kept riding. Irresponsible cretins. GCCC get rid of these scooters before somebody is killed … Keps

The reason Queensland has so many government departments and so many public servants is because when there is a crisis the blame goes from one department to the other in ever decreasing circles until it finally disappears … Barney

There’s no excuse for sexual assault, but when are women going to wake up to themselves and stop pursuing famous men on social media and inviting them in without getting to know them, you are asking for trouble. Lainey

If we’re going to start culling sharks because of a few attacks, how about we start applying the same principles to drug dealers/manufacturers and terrorists? It will save a lot more lives!!

Re: Young Fare Evaders. Public transport for students wearing uniforms should be funded by the state. Blair

Amazing isn’t it that we have fanatics trying to save the spit, black swan lake, 200 different sex types, me too, encouraging people to avoid bus fares, stopping farmers clearing, lack of decent electricity supply… Hardly a mention of a plan or a concentrated effort to have a solution to the growing homeless society. Surely one politician could take the lead here

and we would all contribute money or time. The Local

Anyone who thinks all levels of schooling aren’t infected with Marxist thought, with its warped worldviews and ideologies on what’s normal or true, needs a reality check. GP Atlantic Avenue Mermaid Beach for over 6 months. This street and the people in it must be the nicest, friendliest people on the Gold Coast, as are a few shops on the highway side. They are a credit to the community. Bill

Put a sock in it, Clive.

Petrol prices fall they claim but why hasn’t diesel? It’s not refined like petrol so should be cheaper yet we re still being ripped off. Wog

I wonder if the GCCC took notice of the storm last Saturday? Still cleaning the debris out of the gutters and drains. You would like to think so. Mick, Mermaid

Wowee. I’m on the edge of my seat in the “yawning “stakes is it boring, scripted reality TV? Is it watching the elections or this gripping saga of the Lady Cilento hospital? The winner is … triple dead heat … bistro bob

Surely full care and attention to our ill children is more important than the petty infighting over a name change of a hospital!

Why are we changing embassies in Israel just because the yanks did? Bloody pathetic. bicycle kev

How could this happen? A family with two small children ,,, one only a baby be living on the beach!! Could not stop crying when I read about this family and how this little girl must have lived … surely someone could have intervened. Please do not let this ever happen again. Questions need to be asked. Why couldn’t Child Safety have acted & wasn’t there a duty of care to these children? Gran

Re story The GC man on electric bike speeding and trying to evade police found with 1. Fake driving licence, 2. 2g Meth. 3. MDMA pills. 4. Air pellet pistol. 5. LOADED .40mm handgun … Got fined a measly $5000 and to add to the insult to others no conviction recorded. Why? .05 Drink drivers that - all right have done the wrong thing - but haven’t crashed or hurt anyone … get a conviction held for the rest of their lives. What the hell…

If politicians did a simple poll that asked two questions. Do you support euthanasia and do you want the Australian Governor General to replace the Queen as our Head of State. 99% of Aussies would say yes. James, Southport
