Anyone else alarmed by the sheer amount of business properties for lease? Or going into administration? What’s down the road? Steve

That’s hilarious, someone gets a “lengthy” jail sentence in 2014 yet doesn’t go to jail and now is on forgery and fraud charges and now gets 9 months jail .... wait for it, wholly suspended. Who is responsible for this pathetic court system?

To john the trader: I wonder how many benefits you enjoy because of union men fighting for rights these last 140 years?

Hi Shano. You are right about the premier’s name but I believe the “l” should have more of a “w” pronunciation (depending on dialect). That would conveniently make her real name “Powerchook”. Quizzbird

I have voted Labor all my life, but now that the greens are running Labor, I must change my vote. Danny, Pottsville

Good to see response regarding Pram verses Disabled parking has generated good debate on this important issue. It seem that this problem affects all shopping centres. Management take notice of what the majority of the public are saying, you need to listen. Mike

Well it’s come around again election time, I’ve seen more advertising with Clive Palmer then KFC ads, now that’s saying something. And the next biggest face is, that once you get to the polling booth, there it is the magic pencil, magic in the way, that once you have rub out your votes and put theirs in. This will continue until we start using pens. Nbs

Have to agree with Sarah re the royals are a business. The Kardashians will eventually fade away the sooner the better.

Barney. ‘re voting. I agree, I haven’t voted for 10 yrs. Refuse to waste my time, not at school anymore so I do not have to get my name ticked off. Do not believe any of our current pollies. It would appear they cannot cross the floor anymore for fear of losing job. If 50% of our pollies acted like the way p they do in private enterprise, would not last 5 mins. The Fossil

The Dismissal coming soon to a council near you

Re leaders debate, if Shorten won the 3rd one, I won’t ever bother watching another one. Peter, Pac Pines

We have all read Animal Farm and it’s played out every day by the LNP as they jostle for

themselves and their mates with absolutely no thought or respect for the people and the rule of law. They are more inclined to apply the rule of thumb. Trust me

Consolidate your vote for the Senate and VOTE BELOW THE LINE

Dive site off Main Beach is great news. But why not build it close to Scottish Prince wreck and have two dive options?

Vote Labor if you want Julia Gillard as Gov General and Kevin Rudd as USA ambassador. That is the only reason they are supporting Billy Short-on (policy funding). Redneck

Good point re:- bike riders showing consideration by ringing bell alerting pedestrians. Slight problem, many pedestrians are either listening to music or on their phones & are totally oblivious to a rider ringing his or her bell. Catch 22? PFT

I agree with J Wicks regarding our cricketers. I never would have dreamt of going for a Kiwi team, but their humility as opposed to Australia’s aggression and arrogance on the cricket pitch has changed my mind.

Do not expect the LNP fed gov to fund public schools or hospitals. The education and health ministers have both said over the last 3yrs that it is not there responsibility it is a state issue. Morrison knows this as well, as he has stated the same claim. You should not trust the LNP on these matters.

Sue, Currumbin. Spot on. Ridiculous that Palm Beach traffic has to use KP McGrath to access M1. David, Elanora.

Global warming. Climate change. Expensive huh?

Hey fair dinkum just build the cruise terminal !!!!!! I know a lot of construction men who can’t get work who would give their right arm for work. We sometimes are so far behind the rest of the world I shake my head in disbelief. Tate take control. redrum

The 99c litre petrol was a very generous initiative from both businesses but next time should be restricted to people with a Centrelink or pensioner concession card only. These people are doing it really tough. LM

Agree with John the tradie re cfmeu. I worked on construction sites for years & all the union does is keep bludgers in a job. These grubs would not get a job in private enterprise.

I find it quite astounding and amusing that Bill Shorten is always carrying on about Libs being the “High end of town” and he isn’t - with his salary I would also consider him and his mates at the high end!! MB
