"Booster shots brought forward" (CP, 27/12). So the first two shots didn't work? Why take more when the dangerous variants have burnt out and catching Omicron provides better immunity anyway? Joanne, Manunda
Tom Brennan of Edge Hill (27/12), in answer to your question on why power is more likely to go out now than in previous decades, it's because of lack of maintenance of the distribution network. All that "gold plating" you heard about some years ago was solely to accommodate the two-way power flow from "renewables" on a network intended to go one way only. Since then the Queensland Government has pocketed profits from the grid instead of doing the required maintenance. Electrical Engineer, Brinsmead
In the week ending 26/12, four super-fit young soccer stars died from sudden heart attacks. They were Marin Cacic (Croatia), Mukhaled Al-Raqadi (Oman), Ahmed Amin (Egypt) and Sofiane Loukar (Algeria). They were all fully vaccinated in accordance with FIFA rules. Prior to the covid vaccines, just one top-level soccer player had died of a heart attack in 12 years. Covid Nuremberg now! Spartacus, Cairns
The only thing anyone need know about news out of China (CP, 27/12) is that all of it - all of it - is fake. One Tooth Wally, Cairns North
Given there was never any need to close any business for the flu - sorry, Covid-19 - all the extra drowning deaths (CP 27/12) may quite fairly be laid at the Premier's door. Mark W. Redlynch
The extent of the government-sponsored brainwashing is truly staggering. Healthy, symptomless people lining up to be tested (CP, 27/12) to see if they are sick is a new low for our society. Davina, Bungalow
Next election I'm voting for the Seeing Eye Dogs. At least they won't lead small businesses straight under a bus. Hank, Atherton
Texters here have previously noted that the state govt covid mandates are illegal under the Australian Constitution, and that is true. However they are also illegal under the federal Disability Discrimination Act, which overrides actual state laws, not just non-law "mandates." Higgs, Tolga
Chris Bradley (27/12), you've gotta be kidding, mate. Covid the winner? Of what? Nobody has died if it who wasn't due to die from their other illnesses anyway. Geez Louise, Trinity Beach
Has anyone else noticed that the BoM (CP, 27/12) was far more accurate at forecasting in the 1970s than it is now? Wanna know what changed? Now they use "supercomputers" infected with the global warming virus. Mariner, Portsmith
If you're wondering why health professionals are obeying mask mandates when they all know full well that masks don't filter out viruses, look up "Milgram experiment" from Yale University in the 1960s. Every single participant obeyed an authority figure and delivered what would have been a fatal electric shock (but which was actually being faked) to another innocent person. Never underestimate the stupidity of the well-educated. Prof D., Kuranda
Well, how about that. 55 Qld Health staff have covid and 300 are in quarantine (CP, 27/12). Lucky they sacked all the unvaxxed staff because, um, something, something. OverIt, Cairns
Fifteen days on from the borders opening and eleven days on from the latest set of moronic variant mandates and in the complete absence of any alarming surge in deaths we can now safely presume that Premier Palletjack is wrong again, as usual. Those four year fixed terms aren't looking such a great idea any more, are they? Timmy, Cairns
Government health advice: avoid sunlight and fresh air; trap bacteria and germs on your face; watch TV news propaganda; instill anxiety and fear in your kids; get injected with untested vaccines. This just seems counter-productive and dangerous to me. Allie, Cairns
Why is food waste a problem (CP, 27/12)? We're not short of food. In fact we grow enough food to feed three times as many people as we actually have. Alarmists are alarmed mainly to make themselves relevant. Not-Scared, Bayview Heights
My brother, his wife, and their three children completely missed out on Christmas with 50 other family members because his wife was silly enough to scan into a venue with the QR code. I am so-o-o-o over this stupid, stupid, ALP government. Ex-ALP Voter, Cairns
Pretty much everyone now knows that our governments gave us a political response to a health issue. That's just not OK. Clare, Westcourt
Four scary variants so far but still no piles of dead immuno-compromised homeless people. Have we ever had a more stupid and gullible government? Woz, Parramatta Park
Every police officer out there enforcing covid "mandates" (CP, 27/12) should know they have no basis in law. Everyone who gets a covid fine should take it to Court and quote Section 51.23A of the Australian Constitution. Terri, Clifton Beach
Those "supply chain" problems (CP, 27/12) cannot be blamed on covid. They're the fault of our polimorons. Elspeth, Kanimbla
I do admire Mr Fielding's hope (CP, 27/12) that our KAP state MP for Hill might get off his butt and do something to fight the obvious tyranny of the ALP, but he's had nearly two years to do so and seems as paralysed as ever. He's a lovely bloke but he's way out of his depth. Cecily, Ravenshoe
Before any business excludes customers on the basis of the Qld govt's illogical and illegal "mandates" (yes, illegal - see S51(xxiiiA) of the Australian Constitution) they should ask themselves who keeps them in business? Jennifer, Edge Hill
