THE headline ‘‘Australian organisers reject call for shorter men’s matches’’; I did not think height mattered in tennis (ODT, 20.1.21).

Now to sit back and wait for the ‘‘political correctnes­s bureaucrat­s’’ to jump up and down.

YE gods! How many more times must this current administra­tion blame the previous administra­tion for the country’s worries and woes?

Come on, Labour — we’ve had plenty of talk; it’s time to walk the walk.

‘‘FUTUREPROO­FING’’ seems to me an odd choice of words for the partial rebuilding of the University of Otago’s Plaza Building — an edifice that is a mere 10 years old (ODT, 26.1.21). Might I encourage you to follow this report up with an article on architectu­ral competence?

I WOULD like to express my sincere thanks to the ground and cabin crews of Air New Zealand for their care and assistance at boarding and landing in both Dunedin and Wellington on my return flights.

Their attention was exemplary. Thank you again.

TOP marks on your editorial (ODT, 28.1.21) and the questions on the Northland testing shemozzle.

Let’s hope that the relevant health authoritie­s in the rest of the country will not repeat this disgracefu­l shambles where people queued for hours only to be told they didn’t need testing.
