Rooftop waiting list

SHOULD be interesting ramping on the new helicopter pad at the Royal Hobart Hospital when it opens for patients.

Tony Geeves Rosetta Cool drinks on tap

A QUEENSLAND climate migrant in the ’80s told me that one of the best things about Tasmania is that “you can always get a glass of cold water out of the tap”.

Wayne Bell South Hobart Giving a bad name

EARLY job (may be just a bit tricky) for the Registrar of Names: gazetting Launderdale, bounded on the south by Boiling Point (formerly Mays Point). Roches Leach also under the pump.

Peter Wood Lutana Spot of reading

THE Editorial is spot on (“Just get on with doing it,” November 6). Political parties always tell us “they are listening”, well they all should stretch themselves and start reading for a change!

Peter Barnes West Moonah Aged care slashed

ROYAL commissions into the aged care and disability sectors are revealing the appalling treatment of our most vulnerable. While federal treasurer our Prime Minister cut $1.2 billion from the aged care sector and many aged care facilities feed a person living in a nursing house on $6.08 a day.

M. Ross New Town Too dirty

OUR family have viewed the ABC program Gardening Australia on and off for some time. However, recently on the program a well-known presenter issued an expletive which shocked our family, and no doubt many other viewers. This seems to be happening from time to time on television, radio and social media. I myself will not be watching this program in the near future.

Colin H. Rose Risdon Vale Organic cash boost

GUY Barnett celebrates the 9.1 per cent increase in the value of Tasmanian agricultural production (Talking Point, November 5). Conversion to organic production would increase the value by 100 per cent. What’s not to like?

John Paull Hobart Great job

I WOULD like to sincerely thank the staff and surgeons at the Royal Hobart Hospital for the way they looked after me from my major surgery. The care and guidance they provide so willingly was much appreciated.
