Can anyone tell me why new variants of covid suddenly stopped several weeks ago? Chloe, Kuranda

It didn't just drop to a minimum of 17C on Tuesday. I was in Cairns on Tuesday for a specialist appointment from 12.30pm to 3.15pm. The temperature according to my car's sensor was 17C the whole time. Cecily, Ravenshoe

With 53 border crossers having died inside a locked semi-trailer, will lefties now call for a ban on trucks? If not, wouldn't that be inconsistent with their position on guns? Curious, Cairns

If Ukraine was the scary war zone we're told it is, would every left-wing politician and actor on the planet be visiting to cozy up to Zelensky? The whole Ukraine narrative is very whiffy. Juss Sayen, Cairns

Lesley Clark, I'm surprised you stick your head up publicly after you blocked moving the fuel stores to Admiralty Island after the Bunda St gas explosion. Your opposition warned it would only be 20-odd years before the fuel stores were surrounded by development and here we are with a popular hardware chain across the street from them. Some of us are blessed with working memories. Lyn, Smithfield

Atticus (6/7) trusts experts who have never made an accurate prediction, who don't have a testable hypothesis, and who have strong financial and social incentives to stick to their story. It seems they can fool some of the people all of the time. Patrick M., Mossman

Leading climate scientist and former US Vice-President Al Gore forecast that the Arctic ice cap would have melted by now and I think it's very unfair that it hasn't. It proves the Arctic ice cap is a white supremacist racist bigot. Tiffany, Kuranda


President Joe Biden looks more like 75 year old British actor Struan Rodger than he looks like the Senator Joe Biden from Delaware from 1973 to 2009. Put photos of Rodger from IMDB.com next to photos of President Biden and the younger Senator Biden and see what I mean. Republican, Cairns

Every last politician, bureaucrat and academic who has participated in or profited from the covid and climate scams deserves to spend time in gaol. We can release the stoners from gaols to make room for them. Matt, Edmonton

"Victoria extends pandemic declaration". That's because tyrants become addicted to emergency powers. Emergency powers should only be permitted on the condition the Premier resigns after three months. Freedom Lover, Gordonvale

Have people heard what the White House spokesman said the other day? Instead of using Biden's phrase "new world order" he called it the "liberal world order". Translated to Australian, that's "progressive world order". That's the "progressives" who want to end fossil fuels before we have something to transition to and who believe a man can be a woman and should compete in women's sports. No thanks. David, Goldsborough

RE, "Crazy not to get covid booster" (CP, 6/7). No, at this point what is crazy is to not be having a Royal Commission with open terms of reference into the corporate influences on government employees, particularly AHPRA, TGA and health departments during the last three years. Barry, Parramatta Park

Wait, what? Police can't chase chroming kids because the exertion might give the kids heart attacks? How about using bolas to entangle their legs, like the gauchos used? Or maybe tactical net launchers? Either would be better than simply letting them continue destroying themselves and the safety of others. Ned, Parramatta Park

Hey, Lofty (CP, 6/7) people talk about climate here because they're not allowed to talk about (cough, cough) that other big issue that tends to dominate the news cycle. Bernie, Edmonton

Fact check this: fact checkers didn't exist until the ugly truth started getting out. Moira, Brinsmead


The CEO of Pfizer had to cancel a planned trip to Israel because he's not vaccinated. Let that sink in. E. Robinson, Yorkeys Knob

No, Juss Sayen (6/7). That's not how it works. Cold temperatures are just weather. Hot temperatures are global warming. Got it? Good. Sue, Brinsmead

Here's a better idea than banning alcohol sales in the city, Danny Betros (CP. 06/07). Put a high security fence around a section of the Esplanade parkland near the hospital. Inside it have some park benches, shade shelters, toilets and drinking water. On the fence line have kiosks that have serveries opening into the secure area selling really cheap alcohol. Have security on the gate to let the regulars in any time but they can only come out when they blow under .05. SWAT teams can go in to extract any severely ill or injured drinkers and drop them over to the hospital without bothering the ambos. Problem solved. Terry, Bungalow

Eighty per cent of nations are continuing to use coal, oil and gas, most notably China and India. But Australia and a handful of other psychotic western nations are going to switch to renewables which don't work to save the climate which won't be saved. Stupidity? Or are we under enemy attack from within? Janice, Holloways Beach

Lesley Clark (6/7). Pumped hydro requires dams which your side of politics passionately block. Big batteries are completely unaffordable, there's not enough lithium available and China controls what there is. How about we get a viable replacement for what works before we shut it down. Is that too much to ask? JS, Edge Hill

Despite all the visits to Kyiv by Western pollies and actors, including our own Anthony Overseasy, it looks like Wussia Wussia Wussia has won that little scuffle. Expect more flooding from lefty tears. Geoff, Kuranda
