Why are Aussies going nuts over guns in another country that's none of their business? How about worrying what's going on here instead? Americans have a way to rid themselves of a corrupt government with the 2nd Amendment. We don't. Francine, Cairns North
Do the anti-gun anti-freedom anti-self defence writers here even know that the record for the most children killed in one day in Texas is held by the US federal government? In 1993 FBI and ATF agents killed 27 children by burning their home down with them trapped inside. If Americans were going to disarm anyone, the FBI and ATF would be the place to start. Republican, Cairns
Proving the Greens are the anti-science party we have Greens MP Tim Read (CP, 31/5) who ignores the abundance of published and peer-reviewed research from the last two years that proves masking only works in a minor way to reduce spread by droplets from symptomatic infected people who should be isolating, not walking around in public. Masks on healthy people caused more health problems than they prevented. Christine, Kuranda
Two-thirds of Australians think the covid lockdowns were about right (CP, 31/05) because of the intense flooding of the media by the government using our money. The vast majority of those two-thirds of people were prevented from hearing the other side of the argument and may have seen the government response as draconian overreach if they had heard it. WM, Parramatta Park
While most electric cars continue to be charged from coal power at night they will keep producing 53 grams per kilometre more CO2 than similar weight petrol engined vehicles. Melanie, Smithfield
Roger, Woree. I'm interested to hear how you'd pay for Queensland's hospitals and police without mining royalties. I'm also wondering how people will feel about Labor and their Green accomplices when interest rates force them out of their homes and they can't get a cheap rental house and end up living in their cars. Frank. White Rock
Great column, Mike O'Connor. Climate change is completely beyond our control while China has a free pass to keep adding a new coal power station every ten days until 2060, but we could help the indigenous women and children by allowing indigenous people to create wealth by farming and mining their own lands. While we prevent them being productive their lot cannot improve. Andrew, Kanimbla
So Peter Dutton and David Littleproud are going to keep steering the Liberals and Nationals left (31/5). Better keep rigging those elections, boys, because if we accidentally got an honest election you and your Labor-Green mates would all be out on your ears. Rocky, Cairns
"Researchers uncover Reef's history for first time" (CP, 31/5). First time for them maybe. During the last ice age 12,000 years ago the Reef was surviving the cold 75km to the east of Cairns on the edge of the continental shelf because the sea was 200m lower. The Reef owes its present vast habitat to the warmer interglacial period. Warmth is better for all life. Want Reef and rainforest? Pray for warmth. Juss Sayen, Cairns
Would Phillip Musumeci or any other renewables supporter please direct me to any successful city-scale full renewables and storage system anywhere on earth that proves the concept can work? Surely there must be a full-scale working example somewhere? Anthony, Brinsmead
