A quick word

Am I the only one wondering if Todd Muller, Chris Luxton, and Scott Morrison were triplets separated at birth?

Doug Hannan, Mount Maunganui.

It makes absolutely no sense to talk about opening borders while we delay movement to level one. What matters now is getting to level one as soon as possible. Andrew Montgomery, Remuera.

Shovel-ready: Government­al drivel that actually means a project is unconsente­d and could be six months to many years from seeing any physical work and in many cases never will. Barry Waldon, Bethlehem.

Bill Birch was right — Winston is not a team player. Time he went. Sylvia Burch, Kerikeri.

If everyone in New Zealand stopped running the tap continuous­ly when they brushed their teeth, we could conserve thousands of litres of water.

Jacqui Ross, Massey.

In my view, Auckland Museum is far more interestin­g than Te Papa. Yet we, the Auckland ratepayers, have to keep it going. Would that be the case if Te Papa was in Auckland?

Pamela Russell, Orakei.

Todd Muller says he expects to be Prime Minister after September’s election. This brings to mind one of the memorable quotes from the movie The Castle: “Tell him he’s dreaming!”

Peter Culpan, Te Atatu Peninsula.

I believe Todd Muller and Nikki Kaye will make a far more effective Opposition team and wish them well in those posts, which I hope they hold for a very long time. Jeremy Coleman, Hillpark

Kindness and sincere caring is not about empty words and photos.

R. Wilson, Glenfield.

Aucklander­s need relief and are not able to meet the despotic demands of the council in an extinguish­ing economy and with many ratepayers unemployed and businesses facing bankruptcy.

D M de Lacey, Remuera.

Poor Todd Muller. Dealing with the stream of MPs going for a leak must be driving him around the bend. Dean Donoghue, Papamoa Beach.

Due to their overrelian­ce on tired old buzzwords, politician­s and social commentato­rs are perhaps subliminal­ly preceding them with more adjectives. Now we have not only “totally unacceptab­le” but also “totally and utterly unacceptab­le”. Do you think this is, um, acceptable?

John Norris, Whangamata.
