A quick word
This might be a good week for Phil Twyford to Marie-Kondo his hi-vis jackets but hold onto his collection of hard hats. Jane Livingstone, Remuera.
I wish the media wouldn’t go on so much about the win over India. After spanking Aussie, India smashed us 3-0.
S. P. McMonagle, Greenhithe.
A survey was sent to 46 female MPs. Only 16 replied. Of these, about eight experienced sex harassment. Your headline screamed “Half of female MPs face sex harassment”.
Greg Moir, Kerikeri.
We are not used to 30C+ heat for days on end, this is not normal for New Zealand. Telling older people and babies to “harden up” is not helpful.
Julie Pearce, Matamata.
National usually draws its politicians and support from the farming sector. It is ridiculous to speculate that any party with an environmental mandate would align with it. Isaac Donaldson, Devonport.
Qatar with a population of just 2.6 million beat their bigger neighbour UAE 4-0 in the semifinal of the Asia Football Cup the other day. Sweet justice indeed.
Glen Stanton, Mairangi Bay.
I see Bob Kerridge is still in La-la Land.
Dave Matthews, Hamilton. In Australia, possums are protected but the Kiwi is seen as a pest. Send our possums there and keep Kiwis here. Peter Culpan, Te Atat¯u Peninsula.
With regard to KiwiBuild, Phil Twyford should note you cannot “recalibrate” something that was never calibrated. Colleen Wright, Botany Downs.
Anyone read Animal
Farm? See any similarities with the Government?
A. J. Petersen, Kawerau.
Hilary Clinton received four million more votes in California than Trump. In the whole US, his total was two million shy of hers. She won California, he won America.
John Cooper, Narrow Neck.
Apparently NZ passports are valuable and highly regarded worldwide. It’s a shame obtaining residency isn’t afforded such value. Paul Beck, West Harbour.
Sarah Huckabee Sanders states God wanted Trump to be President. In World War I, all sides claimed God was on their side. The folly continues.
Andrew Tichbon, Green Bay.
The Government could save millions and free up the hospital waiting-list backlog if anyone presenting to our health system had to have at least a valid NZ passport and have been resident here for five years.
Jock Mac Vicar, Hauraki.
