TO THE POINT
NZTA saying the Wellington Motorway is smart is like Donald Trump saying he is a great businessman. Just saying it doesn’t make it so. MARK DALY, Newtown Here’s a radical thought – increase the shortlist and consider the middle-aged of another gender as Wayne Smith’s replacement.
KEVIN CAMPBELL, Levin How nice for Colin Craig to have a million dollars to destroy someone with. But some of us can think of better uses for a spare million bucks.
ROSEMARY MERCER, Thorndon Duncan Garner’s We’re cringing at PM’s silliness (May 20) says, ‘‘Voters smell bullshit a mile away.’’ Well, look no further. His article, which advocates personality and ‘‘social media presence’’ over actual policies, is full of it.
KEVIN WATSON, Levin So, Ross Quale doesn’t want the views of ‘‘reactionary conservatives’’ prominent in his morning paper. Funny, I was just thinking the same thing about the views of Gareth Morgan and Ross Quale. The knife cuts both ways, after all.
DAVE BUCK, Upper Hutt Westerners defending Islam is like chickens defending KFC.
CHEYNE McDOWALL, Rotorua Thank you, Stan Chun, for reminding me I had a ‘‘string bag’’ so will join with my canvas bags on my next trip to the supermarket. I so remember his green grocer shop in Manners St. PAULINE SWANN, Wadestown Mannering returns to struggling Warriors. In the circumstances would Corporal Jones not be more appropriate? BEN THOMAS, Upper Hutt I note Bob Brockie’s "World of Science" column has been reclassified into the province of "Opinion". Entirely appropriate.
