Short & sweet

On dye

I'm sure I should be more interested in Mr Trump’s next statement or the outcome of the mid-term elections, but I can't help wondering, what is the colour of his hair? White, grey, sandy, ginger? It seems different every time we see him. Mike Jarman, One Tree Hill.

On Sroubek

The officials are not to blame. LeesGalloway is not to blame. Perhaps Jacinda is going to take the fall. Greg Moir, Kerikeri.

On fireworks

There is a deafening silence from the Greenies on fireworks. One would have thought they would have been jumping up and down about all the air pollution and rubbish left by the spent containers. Pretty well negates any gains from the scrapping of plastic bags. Jock MacVicar, Hauraki.

On banks

Now banks are being pulled up for their obscene profits how about a few per cent interest on meagre pensioner savings. Margaret Braun, Remuera.

On trip

Heartening to see our politicians can be so bipartisan when it comes to important matters such as sharing the trough. Pim Venecourt, Torbay.

On abortion

I thought your editorial on the need to align with the times finished with the words “real life” because that's what happens with abortion, which ends “the real life” of an unborn child. Dave Gribble, Waiuku.
