Will the delusional half-wits allow Lithium mining as an essential for batteries for electric cars to proceed? DJB.

San Francisco first to ban facial recognition technology because the technology is flawed and that they don’t want to become a security state and more importantly a police state. The Queensland Government should take note and stem the creep of Big Brother. Trust me

Observer. Paying tax on funds which have already been taxed is hardly fair. Nor is it fair to change the rules on franking credits after people many of whom are on small fixed incomes have made this investment choice. A pathetic decision!

If the simple PSA test is only $50 what are you complaining about?? That’s cheap! It costs that much to have a pap smear because I pay for the better test that is recommended to me, and that $50 is a no-brainer! It’s an investment in my health.

I hope when Sally Spain misses the cut at Saturday’s election she gets the message. She doesn’t speak for the majority of Gold Coast residents and never has. Time to put down the megaphone. Chris

Don, just call the “do not call register” 1300792958 and register your mobile and home numbers … no more calls. KT

Hey GT, you say some adverts are “plain insulting to your intelligence”. THEY ALL ARE.

To Clive Palmer. I don’t give a stuff about you either. Terry, Tweed Heads

go, Annastacia is into the violent criminal teenagers locked up in watch houses saying it is too cruel. All bets are on that this weak Premier will order their release just like she stopped 17 y/o criminals from going to adult prisons. No wonder youth crime is out of control in Qld under this weak Labor Premier. KenW.

Wonderful that the Council will build more activity equipment at the Parklands to get more people outdoors, but where will they park their cars when Carey Park is given up to an unwanted and unnecessary casino? Graeme

Julian Assange has & will be made an example of, freedom of speech comes with a price. It always has. Truth hurts & exposes the BS we’ve been brainwashed to believe. Agree! Dams as catchments for water urgently needed & what about hydro electricity a bonus? Law breakers are released on our streets – need to build more jails. Plenty of jobs would be created too! DAD

What a laugh! Clive Palmer saying he was going to bring back integrity to Australia. Joan, Ashmore

The Fed Govt always going on about the jobs they have produced, they never tell us how many are full-time positions with annual leave or sick leave. Always casual or parttime positions, great job security when trying to get or keep a mortgage …

Captain Cook would be disgusted at the town planning abomination on Captain Cook Dve, I know I am.

Pensioners beware! When Bill Shorten was explaining his franking credit grab last year he also said he didn’t think it was right that people over 65 got an income stream from their super fund tax watch this space. AM free. So

Sky News totally right wing, ABC totally left – where is the middle reporting? jim.

Seems us oldies are obligated to “downsize” our lives these days. Giving it my best shot by trying to oust old tapes & CDs. Playing them first, of course, to sort – bin or Salvos. Yeah, nah! Music stays!!! Wait until I’m dead! Having way too much fun listening again to favourites!

Tomic out yet again in qualifying, lost last 6 out of 7 matches. What’s the latest excuse Bernie?

John Howard came out in support of Tony Abbott. Tony Abbott came out in support of convicted paedophile George Pell. Israel Folau didn’t support anyone. Should I be worried? The atheist

Aged Care is legalised theft. Not one political party cares about the elderly or the fees they are forced to pay and the treatment they receive. Julz

Bill Shorten’s obsession with number of women in LNP is bloody laughable. His delusional cohorts if elected will bring in NO GENDER on licences & documents. So where is his worried concern rational? D.J.

I’m glad I have lived through the era of humour with Eric Jolliffe’s and Larry Pickering’s calendars and I think it won’t be long before we see the demise of Kevin “Bloody” Wilson. It’s a shame that we are gradually being forced to lose I sense of humour. Barney
