Welcome to ten.com.au

i thought burning the Australian flag was a jailable offence, was anyone arrested or put in jail, i dont think so, one rule for them, another for us, hmmmmmm

I noticed that noone commented on how our Australian flag was spat on and burnt on Australian so disrespectful and Abbot how ungrateful Julia should have left him there

Hi I would like to say that I was just advised of a comment that a supposed comedian made on Friday Night, after a story aired on children with autism, adhd, and aspergers.  As a parent of a child with aspergers and adhd, I would like to say I am disgusted to hear that you would like to catch it so that you could then cheat on a partner.  Have you ever had an experience with one of these children.  They are so challenging you can go from a happy smile to self harm in less then a minute.  Not only do you break inside but you can not stop and blame yourself for what is going on.  How dare you think you can sit there and say I want to catch it.  Shame on you project team shame.  I am a fan of your show but i'm sorry but you have hurt a fan

I love The Project.  However, I am 'Not happy Jan' with the new hours during the week.  I wonder how many viewers are like me and do not arrive home until 6.30pm from work.  I now miss the first half hour.  I guess I will have to record the first half and watch it after the second half.  I will be interested to see how the ratings are since the change?  Keep up the good work The Project Team.

Actually, as despicable as the action is, it is not against the law.  So no, it ISN'T "one rule for them, another for us" at all.

Just seeing you promo about anti smacking laws,  do we want to remove all rights of the parents to control children.. we are no longer allowed to send our children to thier rooms and keep them there.?  depravation of liberty, smack them ?  thats assult. we the pareants get blamed for not controling our children and general punished for their actions.  we cant ask police to bring them home  and they cannnot do anything because they are juviniel( also not enough police to do it)  if the government  want to remove our rites as parent to control our children  then the government can take the blame and responsibility for their actions  dont blame us as parents.  ( please excuse spelling)

I was going to complain that you left tasmania off the weather map on sunday night, but having just seen what is happening in st George we have nothing to complain about !!! Wow, words fail us.

Why does Carrie make so many sexist remarks. Tonight she referred to Queen Elizabeth as 'an old queen'.  I really liked you Carrie but too many of these remarks - I just heard you say 'old and boring' as I type.  Wake up to yourself. You are not the beginning and end of things and we do not need to be defined by age any more than gender.

Hi I think strongly that there is not enough cultural diversity in actors on Australian tv both acting and advertising....we rarely see anyone who is disabled, or indigenous, chinese, indian etc....shows like neighbours, home and away and any others, your Gen, should reflect a cross section of the community.

I have so much sympathy for the people of Christchurch but it’s not the worst disaster to occur on New Zealand soil, my home town, Napier was destroyed in 1931 with the loss of 256 souls. the worst loss was an Air New Zealand crash in the antartic with 257 souls lost.

Im not taking anything from the pain and suffering that the people of Christchruch have had to endure but I also dont believe in making incorrect statements

Hi,

Steve was right, people should spend less on toys like phones and tvs and spend more on there kids health, we shouldn't expect the government to pay.

I was horrified to hear about Negus and Stynes taking cheap swipes at Cpl Ben Roberts-Smith V.C. M.G. Who are these two anyway? Have they served their country? Have they been shot at? Have they had to use physical force to neutralise their targets? Have they watched as their mates are getting wounded and even coming home with the Australian flag draped over their coffins? Maybe they need to have a look at the common issue of our boys in the Perth Regiment needing IVF, and why are more having girls than boys? Why is that? From personal experience it has got a lot to do with the amount of time they spend away, when they do come home it might only be for 2 - 3 weeks so our cycles are not in line with deployment needs. And why are more girls been born than boys? It has been questioned for many years its the amount of radiation and damage that has been caused due to their dedication to serving their country. Those two will never be anything like R.S nor have the courage or conviction to put their lives physically on the line for something they believe in. I'm proud of R.S, Dono and all the other boys in the Regiment that do many great things daily, but the public will never know.

Hi I really like your show and thanks to me so does my Dad now. You have inspired me to want to do work experience at Channel 10 it would be cool if it could happen but even if it doesn't keep up the good work!

Another perspective on coal mining.  The burning of coal is responsible for a significant health burden in the developing world and we export the stuff there. There was a great talk given by Prof Kirk form the US who talked about the sin of commission versus the sin of ommission. Basically we know what the impacts of coal mining are - major increases in maternal and infant respiratory disease and death and yet we still decide to contribute to this health impact by exporting coal. Coal mining is well known for its impact on the environment, contaminated water bodies, soil etc. Why do we persist with this type of mining when Australia can  decide to be innovative and embrace alternate technologies and export those to the rest of the world?? We are being old fashioned and blinkered. Coal is an economic problem not an economic solution.

An excellent show tonight with John Cleese interacting very well with the panel, but where was Dave Hughes?
