Bill Shorten still thinks he is a union leader continually making promises that others have to pay for. Rocket

My daughter surprised me with a night out to see Lani and Woodley last Saturday night. The venue is fantastic and the show was superb. Comedy genius! Thanks Puddie! M, Robina

I really work with some heathens most of us don’t give a rat’s about climate change and most of us think renewable politicians are more urgent than renewable energy. Simon

Gerry Mander, old mate of our major political parties. 40 per cent of the people who don’t give the major political parties their first preference vote only elect 4 per cent of our MPs and Senators.

Democracy is when the candidate with the most votes from the electorate becomes that electorate representative. With preferential voting that is not necessarily the result the electorate voted for. Therefore preferential voting is undemocratic. Get rid of it and then the electorates will get who they voted for. GN

Call me old fashioned but I think parents should have a go at raising their children because left wing government interference is doing a lousy job. Simon

Where do people go with severe toothache? I just got turned away from GCUH dental, saying it's a six week wait for an admin appointment then consultation is after that.

Clive Palmer is telling us to stand up for our country as the ANZACs did and put Australia first. Imagine if those brave ANZACs had been like Clive’s nephew — they would have gone AWOL and Mrs Palmer fled overseas.

People can do what they want with their houses and units. The council, body corp and government can go to hell. People worked their whole lives to own their property. How do you like them apples? — Tim, the proud house owner

ABC did a poll and found Shorten more trust worthy and competent than Morrison. Did they do the poll inside the ABC studios? Peter, Pac Pines

Mind blowing … jaw dropping event that has Australia waiting … I really wonder where the hell tv is going … bistro bob.

Didn’t see where any party promised to increase pensions

so I won’t vote. Just cross my name off. Bicycle Kev

To Wayne Bennett. An old friend is your worst enemy. MW

Ahh Bill, I’ve read the same book as you. You know the one, how to buy yourself an election. It goes like this, you tax the population until they bleed and then you big note yourself as you give it back. It works short term until you need more money to keep promising and that’s where you come undone. Enjoy it while you can. GT

It’s Sunday morning 7.15am I just watched a policewomen and a GCCC guy book an old bloke with a dog off his lead in Coolangatta, meanwhile !!!! Appalled Perko

David Hall Please make up your confused mind. One week spruiking Labor next. Palmer party now Liberal Tom Tate as premier. Swinging voter eh?

If ratepayers are having to fork out 250,000 for Queen concert, where’s my ticket? — Tezza?

Bermuda St Saturday morning. 20 odd people all waving flags and banners for Karen Andrews campaign — traffic hazard for sure. Not much forward thinking there. — Old chook

crime video games may encourage the youth who play it, some to go & act it out in real life.

Dear Scott and Bill. Just bought my fruit for the week on the pension. Two apples 2.38, one orange 1.68, two mandarins 0.75, half rockmelon 2.09. Thanks. The Wiz

finishes one day and

starts the next. Really you think we haven’t seen enough reality tv kitchens.??? What about some decent tv? Chef Simon

Scarily stupid, change

all those climate naggers who seem determined to cripple the planet and its people with whacko policies while proving and achieving absolutely nothing. CC campaign has become a cult for weak weirdos who have an insatiable need for a self-satisfying cause no matter its uselessness.

TV has Stan, Netflix etc. We who can’t afford it getting all rubbish ... so sick of cooking shows and renos, etc. There must be thousands of movies available – not the few they show every second week on one channel or another. B

All those people criticising Donald Trump- you have been brainwashed for so many years in this country- by media run by lefties and socialists - that you think that our weak and lazy politicians are good enough - and this is the result we are having now !
