A quick word
They are us, except on public holidays.
Neil Hatfull, Warkworth.
As I heard about the concrete problem on the Auckland Airport runway, it came to my mind that this was a good way to put Whenuapai back in the picture and, sure enough, it is now being talked about again.
Janet Bailey, Henderson.
PwC may be many things but arbiters of music they are not.
Tony Kaye, Hamilton.
Concert FM’s immediate audience may be relatively small but its wider cultural range is significant.
Allan M Spence, Waiuku.
Sir Howard Morrison’s daughter gets 12 months home detention for defrauding a tertiary education provider of $1.3m. I would gladly stay home for that sort of money.
Albie Hulse, Whakata¯ne.
I am related to Robert the Bruce of Scotland. Does this mean I can expect leniency if I end up in court for a serious crime? Jock Mac Vicar, Hauraki.
So John Key thinks Graeme Hart is the greatest living New Zealander. Says it all really, doesn’t it? Dave Matthews, Hamilton.
Helen Clark and I have rarely been on the same wavelength (pun intended) however I agree completely with her on this occasion; leave the Concert programme alone.
Margaret Neill Gibbons, Remuera.
Under what authority can a public beach such as Piha be closed to the public for a professional surfing competition? Bruce Tubb, Belmont.
The Oscars are not designed as a political platform for political propaganda. Brad Pitt is the latest in a long line who think that they can dig their oar in and influence the public.
Dave Miller, Rotorua.
Methinks Bob Jones doth protest too much. Joanne Harland, Mt Eden.
So Mike Hosking is thinking of leaving town? Good on ya mate, you name the day and I’ll hire the brass band.
Bruce Allpress, Browns Bay.
Mike Hosking is absolutely right — Auckland is a city run by idiots. It seems that a 4m wide bridge across the harbour for pedestrians and cyclists at $67m is not enough — a 5m wide bridge at $240m is “needed”.
Ericson List, Papamoa Beach.
Are they mad, $240m just so a few Lycra-clad luvvies can ride their bikes over the bridge? David Morris, Hillsborough.
An estimated marginal usage and escalating costs to now $360m, which includes a 3km sea path, requires this Sky Path project to be reevaluated before the final sum mushrooms even further.
Jurgen Schubert, Birkenhead.
