Short & sweet

On bubbles

I trust that Government accepts elimination of Covid by isolation requires the vulnerable should be vaccinated before breaking out the champagne.

J. M. Elsby, Takapuna.

On Waitemata¯

Imagine if Chelsea, the Navy and Auckland Port all moved out of Auckland — more waterfront areas for Aucklanders and a much cheaper harbour crossing. Claire Teirney, Whangapara¯oa.

On livestock

Let my voice be an appeal to the hearts of the community on behalf of these animals destined for export from Cornwall Park (and every other animal being considered for this unethical practice) that are unable to speak. They are “at our mercy”. Sue Heath, Hamilton.

Congratulations are due to the Cornwall Park Trust Board O¯ for reversing the decision to send cows to Mongolia. It listened to the massive public outcry and swiftly made a bold and considered reversal statement.

Heather Moodie, Grey Lynn.

On Baulch

If you are opposed to vaccination, that’s your choice but the country doesn’t have to pay for that. Madness!

Rob Smith, ta¯huhu.

On port

The Manukau would be the only port in the world that has no water in it for half the time. At least that was what it looked like last time I had a glance over from where I live. Perhaps our mayor and Cabinet do not know this and should be advised. Michael Walker, Blockhouse Bay.
