Short & Sweet

On revival

At 30-18 to the Springboks with only 10 minutes to go, I could almost hear Jacinda’s influence — come on guys “we can do this”, which must go down as the best campaign and get out of gaol slogan ever. Gary Hollis, Mellons Bay.

On spying

Now that Britain has declared cyber-war against the Russian Intelligence agency GRU, will we as part of the five-eyes consortium be in the firing line for retaliation? G. N. Kendall, Rothesay Bay.

On Bridges

I understand Press Gallery journos like the idea of a young(ish) Prime Minister who they see exemplifying their dreams of a working mum who can do anything. What they can’t hide is their fear of a working dad who seems better qualified to run the country. Katherine Swift, Kohimarama.

On view shafts

I sincerely hope that most drivers travelling south over the harbour bridge are watching the traffic rather than gazing at Mt Eden! John Hampson, Papatoetoe.

On speed

As motorists know, the average speed in the city area is already 30km/h. How about opening all the bus lanes, cycle lanes, and T2 lanes to let the traffic flow for about a few weeks and compare the data. Mohammed Yakub, Mangere East.

On Warne

Really, Shane Warne’s memoir? The sonof-a-pitch was arguably the most notorious terror wrist of his day. What was the Herald thinking of? Dean Donoghue, Papamoa Beach.
