That’s whathappens routinely at meat works.

That’s how PETA people get veal to eat. Mind you, PETA are part of the Green lobby, who are anxious to facilitate this treatment of human young.

Likewise the letter from Russell Landcare Trust, which declares blood on the hands of the FNDC because a kiwi has been killed by a dog. The lunatics are running the asylum.

The lunatic ladies of Otamatea Women’s Grey Power have mentioned that the Supreme Court have found, quite appropriately, that the addition of fluoride to public water supplies is mass medication of the public, and is in breach of the Bill of Rights.

What the Otamatea ladies didn’t mention is that, despite finding fluoridation to be a breach of our Bill of Rights, the Supreme Court judges chose to say that doesn’t matter, and local authorities can do what they like.

Yes, you make heads and tails of that. Anti-depressants next? LEO LEITCH

A governmental historical abuse in state care Royal Commission is to be set up. It will be chaired by Sir Anand Satyanand, respected lawyer, judge and former Ombudsman and GovernorGeneral. It is expected to take three years, and will doubtless cost many taxpayer dollars. Public submissions on the issues are requested.

It is to be hoped that, at its conclusion, the preponderance of Ma¯ ori and Pacific Island children in state care is not blamed on colonisation, and the solutions of the problems not be made entirely the government’s responsibility.

That Sir Anand’s comment, “Through truth comes joy”, will extend to full and frank investigation, and that the issues of parental responsibility and of differing ethnic and cultural practices will be researched and reported accurately and completely. BRYAN JOHNSON

Omokoroa O’Sullivan is not an MP. With his views of compulsory vaccination espoused on The Project, in our opinion he should have been living and enforcing those views during WWII, in a police state, not in New Zealand, which is purportedly a democratic society.

Has he even read the warnings on the leaflets in the vaccination packaging? One of the side-effects of vaccinations is contracting the very disease that the vaccination is supposed to prevent. In some cases, autism may be a side-effect.

To threaten people with financial losses if they do not vaccinate their child is bullying, and bullying is not acceptable in New Zealand, not even from somebody who is supposed to be a doctor, whose mantra should be first do not harm. Drug evasion must not become a new crime.

People must understand that we have certain human rights in a democratic society. Choosing whether to vaccinate or not is one of those human rights. Under our Bill of Rights Act, Section 11, everyone has the right to refuse to undergo medical treatment. BEVERLEY ALDRIDGE, KATHLEEN
