Short & sweet

On trees

While trees are being decimated all over Auckland with no plan from the authorities to do anything about it, it is great to see generous planting on Quay St, previously devoid of nature. Charlie Haddrell, Greenlane.

On Wilson

Reasoned, logical and generous in spirit, Simon Wilson is a pleasure to read. More please.

Garry Bond, Hastings.

On Lam

Elizabeth Easther’s moving story about Patrick Lam, New Zealand’s most awarded pie maker, highlights how journalism can connect us to people with such different life experiences. Lynn Riding, Maunu.

The story about baker Patrick Lam should serve as a model of what hard work and determination can achieve. Paul Beck, West Harbour.

Patrick Lam is an absolute inspiration and a wonderful New Zealander. Morna Neumann, Hauraki.

On UK

So the British Government has lifted all restrictions while Covid 19 is still on the attack. It seems rather like turning on all the lights during an air-raid.

Peter Baran, Te Atatu¯ South.

On nurses

Nurses deserve every cent they are bargaining for. In fact, they should get the same as List MPs.

Rex Head, Papatoetoe.
