A quick word

Murray Hunter suggests the red moon as a sign of Labour victory in 2023. He may wish to consider the next blue moon is due in August 2023, just in time for an election. Patrick Grant, Stanmore Bay.

Hallucinogenic drugs are small beer compared to the mass hallucination of limitless growth in our finite planet.

Kenneth Lees, Wha¯nga¯rei.

The world desperately needs a unifying force like the Olympics. Richer countries should band together and make available a large, vaccinated health workers to vaccinate all 127 million Japanese. Robert Myers, Auckland Central.

I wonder: if it had been a Kiwi expedition to Everest, would an Englishman been picked for the final ascent? Ron Donovan, Matamata.

Maybe I’m a bit sensitive here, because Phil Mickelson and I share a close birthdate but when did our expectations of others in their prime of life become so low?

Julie Fennell, Northcote.
