To the point

HIGHRANKING politicians, including Jacinda Ardern, and journalists now favour talking about somethink, rather than something. When will somethink be done for the benefit of school pupils to resurrect something?

LATEST polls show the Labour Government well ahead of National and I can’t help but say it deserves to be. For the first time in my lifetime, I saw a government that put people first in the Covid19 case — yes, people first. When one looks at the rest of the world, we can be very grateful to our leader at this time. As one who would have been at risk, good job. Well done, Jacinda.

NOW that we have both major polls concurring, I believe the public has the right to know the results of the internal National polling (ODT, 31.7.20). Given that Judith Collins believes it is OK to fudge the truth, is she being honest with the public about the result of the party poll?

THE sooner someone starts a ‘‘protest’’ about the proposed sale of the Taieri train and presents it to the Dunedin City Council, the sooner we can start signing it. On second thoughts, the DCC will no doubt ignore it as it does other ‘‘protests’’ it receives.

I FIND it amusing that the Karen joke provoked a Karenlike response by someone the joke was coined about (Letters, 1.8.20). I tried other Christian names as suggested but just wasn’t as funny, I’m afraid.
