Labor still blaming anyone but themselves regarding M1.

Agree with Terry Jackman. Surf clubs have turned into commercial businesses. Time to stop shacking the tins and looking for taxpayer handouts. Plenty of money to fund their activities from their commercial operations including pokies. If they don’t agree they could always submit to audits as they do in NSW. – KJ

After seeing Australia’s biggest surf club Kurrawa has built I hope they haven't got the gall to rattle the tin in public for donations. – O1

Fancy Terry Jackman the patron of rival club Northcliffe having a go at Kurrawa on spending money. Isn’t that the pot calling the kettle black? – Real Clubby

Hey Woodleigh! Get your facts right. Most clubs need funds. Not the mega rich clubs on the Gold Coast! They are still begging! – Barry

I refuse to support this push to curb domestic violence until they drop the sexist attitude, demonising all men as wife bashers. That’s like saying all mothers beat their children to death just cause we’ve had 2 in the last 2 wks. – Dave

Why aren’t police booking the speeding drivers on Ferry Rd between Cotlew St and Tomas Dve?

The anti Bitcoin/cryptocurrency hysteria means you are missing boat. I bought 990 worth of seven coins in March now worth 13,000. All legal and aboveboard. Wake up to peer-to-peer decentralised money. – Gc socialist

To the Greenie anti-Adani mischief maker. The billion federal money Adani is after, is a loan not a grant, as u would obviously know. Per capita, in the last 20 yrs, NZ has won far more trophies, across more sporting disciplines, than any other country in the world. If Queensland was a country, only we would have beaten them, on a per capita basis. – Aussie.

In the faint hope that we ever get another M1 built, can l recommend the MCG groundsman for the job. The MCG pitch is a real road.

We have had our fair share of Christmas drunks and violence, now we can expect the crazy GenY to go crazy at New Year’s big booze up, products of the Schoolies introduction to alcohol. Blame Qld Labor Gov and GCCC for this.

Should young models and actors be allowed to sexually harass much older millionaires? – Rocket 3pm and just walked past Surfers Paradise beach. The most people on the beach by far, were taking refuge in the shade of the soul building. So much for the greenie theory, that tall buildings on/near the GC beaches, are liabilities.

All very well getting NBN installed along Lindfield Rd, they could at least leave our footpath grass verge the way it was. We are left with dirt and rocks.

Just drove down to the end of the boring Spit. Still only the one expensive food outlet. Only one park table is under a tree. Rest are under the blazing sun. No barbecues/shelters/ toilets/water fountains or mobile food vans anywhere. Get real GCCC or give ASF a go.

I love snakes of all kinds but please respect them. Remove the children from danger.

What is it with idiots hanging around the car, where a snake catcher was trying to retrieve a brown snake, on the news/ weather last night? At least get the kids back.

If you can’t swim between the red and yellow flags but have to stand between red and yellow flags what is the point of going to the beach? – Barney

Amazed at the water police, they cruise among the boats anchored on the northern end of wave break looking for boat owners who may have had a drink or two but when the idiots on their jet skis, speed boats and tinnies are around you never see the water police.

Fancy new LNP leader Deb criticising Labor over M1. If I recall correctly, Timmy Nichols never mentioned any upgrades to the M1 during the election campaign. – GT

Rick Flori, election has been over for a month. Pse remove your poster from Golden Palms Court, Ashmore. All other posters removed within a few days. – Joan

Are New York Yacht Club lawyers running the Sydney Hobart? Comanche would have been much closer to Black Jack if it wasn’t concentrating on non race winning tack to block Wild Oats 11.

Scientist Vic Forbes (GCB, 29/12) has commonsense. Not on global warming gravy train, no vested interest in declaring end of reef, no need for massaged data. – Simon

Can someone explain why we don’t have direct flight from Gold Coast to Bali? Why should we have to leave hours earlier & travel that carpark of an M1 & risk missing flight when an airport is only 5 mins away? – Sue
