CHATROOM

Aged Care “it’s all about the money honey”. Scomo should look into outrageous fees charged to elderly and relatives. And undue stress caused to all concerned … Julz

I never thought that I would see the day - a lawyer who acted ethically and had a conscience! Now let’s see the Salem Witch-hunt begin for Lawyer X who ‘blew the whistle’ on criminals, corrupt police, and a corrupt so-called “justice” system which favours criminals and not victims. HR

It’s going to be hard to release a child from a car seat without leaving the front seat. Rocket

Thank you Bulletin! A voice of reason in an ocean of globalist corporate fake news. Loved the climate change cartoon in Thursday’s Chat Room. Remember … anyone who says the science is settled, doesn’t know how science works. It’s never settled. Always open to challenge and correction. TK

Would the bald, tall old codger who squeezed/bruised every avocado in the bin at Woolies AshmorePlaza 2 days ago … grow a brain. Stop squeezing the avocados!! Livid!!

Re Turnbull in the media every day … 92.5 gold FM has a “voice” of him on radio every day, trying to be funny, which is why I have hanged stations. If he’s not given the publicity, surely he will go away. Stropp, Robina.

With so many people on waiting lists to see specialists in hospital (for which we taxpayers fund the system with 2% of our individual income funding medicare) why would Labor Party and Karen Phelps put more pressure on the already struggling system by allowing Medicare to be abused for political reasons.

So Councillor Gail O’Neil is still calling for an increase in height limits at Greenmount beach even after the Komune 24 storey development was rejected in court. Talk about a slow learner.

Has anyone thought of the retiring people that went through the 17 per cent interest rates, and now only get 1.5 per cent on the savings? Talk about getting ripped off. Put interest rates up now for our oldies. If you can’t handle another 2 per cent interest rise get out now. Business Man

Re building safety. I trained in UK as carpenter/joiner for 5 years on-site training with another tradesman. One day at school/tech/college of building. One night at night school for 5 years! One day every six

months safety training. All this paid by the firm I was working for. This system had been in operation for hundreds of years. The perfect way to learn a trade. All apprentices were treated the same. Now it’s a token education if that. It used to be the apprentice electrician that erected the cable trays under supervision of his mentor. Times change but if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. Just cost-cutting by companies. Glyn

There’s a mo bike across the road from me, on its side, dumped, been there all week. I can’t be bothered calling Mo Bikes, and nobody gives the bike a second look. It’s just seen as litter, garbage.

Candyman for mayor. Cmon, this is the Gold Coast. We could have a grand entrance down Smith St and a slippery slide on the way out. 24/7 parties. Watta ya think Rachel?

Who said young people have no manners..! Young man at Bunnings yesterday called me Ma’am after an incident. On way home, near Nerang Bowls Club, Ma’am again when breathlalised by young police lady. Watch out! Ma The problem also Glyn is they put their assets on their wife’s name. Lots of this going on. Things need to change.

Creepy grandpa and grandma should stop hanging outside gyms perving on people. Back to the retirement village.

Transgender people should accept the consequences of their radical changes and adapt to overcome them, rather than demand the whole world change centuries of customs to suit them. GP.

Useless knowledge 101. Christian beliefs and symbols are all Pagan, first Christians stole all symbols shapes and changed the system during Roman times. Reg

Why did we have a heatwave? The availability of groundwater for evaporation mediates the partition of solar radiation energy between sensible and latent heat. In drought conditions the balance shifts toward sensible heat. Warmer temperatures can imply less water vapour. It was a dry winter - so we got a heatwave. Simples. Higgs, Mudgeeraba

Interesting to see on the ABC it is reporting the cause of the devastating fires up north was caused by climate change yet the firefighters/farmers on the ground say the cause is the Government not allowing farmers to back burn and land clear to keep undergrowth under control.

If scroungers want to go through my kerbside clean-up, take what you want but please have the decency to leave the leftovers in a neat pile. Chris, Pimpama
