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?

READER Ronda Weidmann’s comment on the integrity of the Foreign Investment Review Board (Letters, October 7) is correct.

The Pandora Papers exposes issues on tax evasion, manipulation and corruption world wide by despots, the wealthy and criminals. Raymond Harvey
