On the level

PERHAPS we are building roads the old fashioned way in Tasmania? I suggest the builders of the Midland Highway and Cambridge Rd go for a trip to Queensland to see how to build a road. Laser level with no bumps. I fear the Midland Highway will become a maintenance nightmare very soon.

Who’s the boss?

ANOTHER weak effort from the Hodgman-led Government: David Walsh is now running the state. Building high roller gambling venues. Knowing full well this weak government will roll over and let it happen. Tony Geeves Rosetta

Like father, like son

Works of art

DAVID Walsh and Mona, with a bit of branding, can live with the nearby Glenorchy Sewerage works ( Mercury, July 7).
