KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCKIN’

I HAD a dream where ex-PM John Howard and former immigratio­n minister Peter Dutton were met at the Pearly Gates and told by St Peter: “we’ll decide who comes to this realm and the circumstan­ces in which they come”.

THE NAG IS NO MORE

THE young profession­als of today are already making climate and intensive farming decisions with their superannua­tion. They don’t eat farmed salmon. The Tasmanian government is trying to expand a dead horse, and that’s untidy.

GO NORTH DEVELOPERS

IT was perplexing to read that Hobart council is considerin­g whether a six-storey apartment should be approved in North Hobart (Mercury, October 7). Perhaps developers should come to Glenorchy where the council will unanimousl­y approve an eight-storey tower on a heritage site as they did recently in Claremont?

FOREIGN OWNERSHIP

READER Ronda Weidmann’s comment on the integrity of the Foreign Investment Review Board (Letters, October 7) is correct. This board is another example of the smoke and mirrors legislatio­n we have in Australia. The Pandora Papers exposes issues on tax evasion, manipulati­on and corruption world wide by despots, the wealthy and criminals. Raymond Harvey
