Short & sweet
On euthanasia
If/when the “end of life” bill passes into law, will my life insurance still pay out? Vickie Holland, Kawerau.
On rail
If the planned early morning trains from Hamilton to Auckland terminate at Papakura waiting to return to Hamilton late afternoon, what are the train crews going to do in Papakura all day? Alan Milton, Cambridge.
On super
Super should only be available to NZ citizens and permanent residents of those countries with which NZ has reciprocal arrangements. Arthur Moore, Pakuranga.
On China
Flags of China sold in Vietnam have mysteriously had one more star added on. Beware of Chinese gifts, otherwise NZ will soon be another Chinese colony. Manh Bui-Van, Clover Park.
On emissions
Just as its buyback time for all assault guns it’s time for all “big guns” in the Government to step out of their fossilised vehicles. Rob Buchanan, Kerikeri.
On schooling
Ms Coxhead’s letter prompts me to suggest remaking To Sir With Love, emphasising human relations, character building and educational issues. Bruce Church, Waharoa.
Maureen Coxhead raises an excellent point about education drifting off course. With education, as with many other important issues in life, it pays to go back to the future from time to time. John Clements, Orewa.
On Goff
Why are those cars still being parked on the waterfront when Phil Goff promised to do something about them? Pamela Russell, Orakei.
