WELL SAID

If there is to be a letter of the year, I would like to nominate Diannah Paramour (‘You go First’, Apr 18), who wrote ‘To those misguided fools determined to destroy our UTAS, why don’t you bulldoze your own bloody homes first?’ Peter Williams

GRATEFUL FOR BOB

David Hurburgh’s hilariously satirical attack on the Bob Brown Foundation (May 2) fails to acknowledge that if it wasn’t for people like Bob, what little wilderness still left would be infested with luxury resorts and helipads, our rivers would be dead from (even more) polluting industries, and we’d be living on an island connected by cable cars.

LOOKING FOR JUSTICE

However can Julian Assange possible expect to get any “justice” until he first turns himself over to the courts in the country where his alleged crimes occurred, and submits himself to a lawful and legal hearing and trial process by a justice and a jury? That there is no “evidence” is a moot point until that evidence is duly presented in said court and then the jury decides.

SAD FAREWELL

I was sad to read about the death of Bishop Phillip Newell. He launched many appeals at my request for poor people of the world in stinking, hot conditions when I was working for Freedom From Hunger and Oxfam. He was a very decent human being. May he Rest In Peace.
