Re - 'Qantas wants to force jab on whole industry' 29/7. Governments that get their way by coercing corporations into doing their work for them are technically defined as fascist. Fascism is the form of socialism that controls private businesses while leaving their ownership and management unchanged, but like other forms of socialism it still always fails. History Buff, Whitfield
How do you make a population scared of guns, which are less dangerous than trucks? Just write rules so most of the population never see a gun (CP 29/7) and blame guns, and not the guns' operators, for deaths. Who got the blame when trucks ploughed into crowds in Europe - the trucks or the drivers? Davina, Bungalow
Anyone who thinks Aurukun is in any way representative of traditional aboriginal lifestyles or choices doesn't understand history. The five groups there have always fought each other. They only settled there together because the white missionaries brought an easier lifestyle. If authorities want to end the violence there they must end the sit-down money and allow local entrepreneurs to engage in commercial-scale farming, fishing, forestry and mining. Sensible Steve, Redlynch
Great points, David Clapham (29/7), but there's more. Truckies have never spread covid anywhere - even before border closures and testing. Funny, that. Also, all the border closures would be over in two days if truckies simply refused to cross a closed border if they have to take a "test" to see if they're sick with a "deadly" disease. Truckies mate, Smithfield
Another road fatality - the 12th fatal crash this year in FNQ alone (29/7). How many covid deaths in FNQ in that time? None. So why is the government ignoring real threats to life that sit squarely within their area of responsibility to interfere in our personal health decisions where their responsibility stops with licensing doctors and drugs? Adrien, Mareeba
CP. 29/7. Council could've saved us ratepayers $1.68m simply by arguing to Brisbane's control-freak bureaucrats that moving the bats back to the bush was the only way to save them from mass summer deaths from the urban heat island effect. Forget pruning the library figs - we need to prune every level of the bureaucracy. Woz, Parramatta Park
(CP, 29/7) "Gunman stoned to death." Very traditional. Governments can ban guns but they can't ban stones. Our economy-wrecking politicians are fixated on disarming the population, but unless they plan to move around in army tanks they should remember there's very little defense against bricks well-flung by an angry mob. Davos Dave, Cairns
You have to laugh at the sooky-lala DC cop (CP, 29/07) who thought he might be killed by unarmed protesters despite being armed himself. It's notable that his body-cam footage has not been released. Kevin, Woree
Did you see that little page 13 story (CP, 29/07) about embezzlement at the Vatican? That's why Cardinal Pell was fitted up with fake historic child abuse allegations (as proven by the 7-0 High Court ruling.) Pell was investigating Becciu. The moral of that story is we should close down the ABC and run a Royal Commission into Victoria's police and judiciary. Jennifer, Edge Hill
Covid (CP, 29/7) flooded in from Wuhan for two months, possibly longer, before the national border was closed. Wuhan returnees spread it to truckies (CP, 29/7). Truckies spread it across the country but nobody noticed because nobody was testing for it (CP, 29/7). The portion of us who caught it were diagnosed with flu, treated for flu, and the death toll was typical. But then govts around the world kicked off their unified fear campaigns and now our society is divided and the small business sector is crippled. The only thing different to other flu seasons has been the govts' choreographed behaviours. Why? WHO is calling the tune? Spiro, Mareeba
My cousin is a snow skiing instructor and a greenie now aged 46. He says he's never seen so much snow in an Australian ski season, but he still believes in global warming. When I said that frozen water doesn't lie about temperatures he just looked at me blankly. Yes, like so many if us, he's a victim of a long and thorough brainwashing. Now, consider what we've all been enduring with the "very deadly and highly infectious pandemic" - that has killed fewer than the annual flu. Stefano, Chewko
The government/media have kicked an awesome own goal with all their vaccine coercion. They've turned vaccine refusal from a mundane, boring personal health decision into something edgy, radical and cool. Good luck getting Gen Z on board now, boomers. Higgs, Tolga
Teachers are at greater risk of assault at schools now (CP, 29/07) because Marxists within government worked tirelessly for decades to remove effective discipline from schools. Bring back the cane and within ten years student results and behaviour will have improved enormously. Darryl, Westcourt
Maybe the $1,680,000 bill for moving on bludger-bats (CP, 29/7), for which the CBD is a hostile habitat, will wake ratepayers up that this problem stems from radical left environmental regulations and not the bats themselves. If It weren't for the regulations it would be cheap and quick to shoot bats until they learn to roost back in the rainforest - where they better survive hot weather. Joanne, Manunda
