Seeing Jacinda declared the Easter Bunny an essential worker, do you think she could bring the move to level 2 forward so we can celebrate Mother’s Day together?

Fiona Downes, Hobsonvill­e.

Without the tireless work of our couriers, lockdown would be a lot more grim. Well done to you all.

Sue Kurtovich, Otumoetai.

(Weekend Herald, May 2), I agree, too many crosswords / Sudoku. Please also consider the KenKen addicts.

L Spratling, Glendowie.

Generally the invitees of the event at HQ (the Tamakis, JT and Paula Bennett) seem accurately described as part of a “dummy run” though it is perhaps unfair to include Nikki Kaye and Sir Graham Henry as such.

Samantha Cunningham, Henderson.

The sooner the Government gets together a non-political group of skilled business leaders (we have many, despite Shane Jones’ view) to guide the country forward, the better.

Don Pickering, Takapuna.

What happens when assault rifles are used in public massacres? In NZ, they are banned; in Canada, banned; in the US, thoughts and prayers.

Andrew Tichbon, Green Bay.

I am pretty good at shuffling paper around my desk and stretching red tape from here to Timbuktu five days a week. Does that mean I qualify for a 250k salary at Auckland Council? Glenn Forsyth, Taupo¯.

Our nation had to adhere to restrictio­ns for six years in World War I! We can barely do six weeks. Steve Horne, Raglan.

It’s a funny world, funny Auckland. One school trip $7000-plus. Meanwhile, food parcels for South Auckland.

C Brown, Waimauku.

I feel that the PM has started to talk down to us lately. If the class is not good they will be kept in after school. Colin Nicholls, Mt Eden.

The post Covid-19 economic recovery should be put in the hands of the Green Party. Their policies of building cycle lanes, punishing farmers and reforming cannabis use will see the country back on its feet in no time. Neil Hatfull, Warkworth.

Could somebody enlighten me as to why a rugby league team was granted permission to fly to Australia when nobody else can? Pauline Paget, Campbells Bay.

I suspect most New Zealanders don’t care if the lockdown was legal or not. The high level of “buy in” suggests we wanted to get rid of the virus as quickly as possible.

Alan Milton, Cambridge.
