Gofundme pages are a joke. Ooooh i have an ingrown toenail it is going to be a long recovery, please donate generously as it has hit me hard financially.

Trust me says he can’t understand how PM says we are back in surplus, but we still have debt. You must be in the Labor Camp if you don’t know the difference between surplus & deficit. Surplus is obtained by controlling the budget, & you can’t pay down the deficit, if you don’t have a surplus to do that with. John Mc

GCB.1/5 I get very angry seeing a person being praised when their actions have caused a possible death of a young father. Vain selfish behaviour when in charge of a motor vehicle. Nan

Dear Severe Toothache, Understand frustrations, I’m in similar circumstances & was told after initial consultation no work could be done until next year. I’ve work & paid taxes all of my life yet find myself in an unfortunate circumstance & can’t get any help with basic healthcare.

What’s with all these criminals getting off with wholly suspended sentences? Police do all the hard work to bring them in. Yes, the jails are overcrowded and full. Well build more prisons. The offenders will learn nothing if they are sentenced and then suspended. They smirk, and laugh when they leave court. It is so wrong … GC Citizen

There’s been a lot of chatter lately about the lack of infrastructure on the Gold Coast. Funding rarely goes to safe seats by either party for obvious reasons. I suspect this lack of major infrastructure suits the lower Gold Coast because they’ve seen what it’s done elsewhere and more importantly, they like it just the way it is. GT Scott Morrison getting into bed with Clive Palmer and Pauline Hanson. Well besides being a sign of desperation it will need to be a very big bed. Geoffrey.

Fred from Coombabah, the greenie mob protesting are being paid by us, the taxpayer, ie the dole, and don’t have to work. They probably don’t want the mine as it could mean a job will be available for them!! Mary. Elanora.

JWH … yes you would agree it (the final) may not see our Wallabies featuring. … but neither will you see the NZ team … l and lots believe it will be probably Wales v England and Boks v lreland in the finals … unlike you l have both eyes open … noel

Very sad for the woman who has a child who needs to use

taxis but you cannot expect taxi drivers to be responsible for your child. Jewell

Shaun Newman you are perfectly correct that this Liberal government has done zero during their six years in power. Get rid of them so we can advance this great nation with Labor. Jimbo, Mudgeeraba

I notice the texter who bagged the oldies (GCB 1/5) re Bill Shorten’s franking credits taxed, didn’t have the guts to leave his name, typical of today’s young ones who show no respect to anyone, even their own parents. Let’s see how your sooky generation survive when you get old. Anyone can act tough while hiding behind a mobile phone. Next time pal be a real man and leave a name attached to your text like most of us do. Max, local truckie.

Help. How do I stop overseas calls to my mobile phone? I am with Telstra and they say that the calls come through on computer and they can’t do anything about it. If it was on the land line they can block it at the exchange. I get calls from all over the world day and night. Telstra say change my number. What’s the good of that apart from the hassle of changing it on everything? They will still find a way. Is anyone else having this trouble?

Why do we need mother with pram spaces in prime front door spots in shopping centres when to wheel a pram from two metres of 10 metres doesn’t make a lot of difference for a healthy mum, but a use of more disabled spaces for our older citizens does make sense. Take notice Pacific Fair! Mike

If I have $50,000 in a saver account with my bank I can get $40 interest every month on my deposit. But if I borrow $50,000 I must pay $800 interest every month. That's why people hate banks. Roy, Burleigh

Anyone else just finding out who their Federal member of parliament is? Amazing they come out of the woodwork to be re-elected but don‘t see them for years previously. Reggie

Nanna Di. I’ve been cutting out comic strips for years, even now. I have two golf books, a religious one and general one. WHEN l have time, l paste them in. I lend them to friends and a group l attend. Our kids did same thing when young with jokes in the paper. No iPhones then! Ma

Clive Palmer keeping media networks in business with millions that should be going to dudded Townsville families.
