On transmission

Air hygiene is set to become the most important public health measure this century — NZ has missed the opportunity to be a world leader.

Andrew Montgomery, Remuera.

On Hosking

It sounds like Mike Hosking wants to run the country, and National needs a new leader. Voila. David Lawrence, Hawera.

The PM no longer needs to put up with the hectoring and browbeating Mike employs when he interviews anyone who does not subscribe to his particular blinkered view of politics.

Jennifer Ma’u, Hamilton.

How about a game of Guess Who? Swollen head; running at the mouth; delusions of grandeur; a radio host.

Reg Dempster, Albany.

On pickers

Peter Newfield, Takapuna.

On MIQ

The hunger strike woman and the man who demand their rights to not have a test infringe the rights of 5 million people to stay healthy and Covid-free.

Julia Cameron, Ponsonby.

On DHB

Janet Boyle, rewa.
