Abortion protesters outside hospital are a disgrace. It's a female's personal decision and not an easy one, and they have their own private reasons for their choice. KL
Running of sheep
Have you noticed that all of the objectors to the Waipukurau running of the sheep are not HB people and I wouldn't mind betting have never stepped on a farm in their life.
Re R Moorhead letter re sheep run: Sheep herded and moved for valid reason may be okay. Waipuk sheep run for people's entertainment not valid reason.
Re The running of the sheep in Waipuk: Don't worry about the sheep, Elizabeth. Feel sorry for the people that have to clean up the poo afterwards.
Liz ya towny, grow up. If it was stressing for the sheep the cockies in CHB would never let it happen.
Re: Sheep abuse - paints us poorly. Come on Elizabeth O'Connor, get a life and start complaining about things that really matter in this life. The sheep will be fine. BJS
Court sentence
Another case of the legal clan looking after themselves. Prominent family? No ,just a drunk lawyer and why is she hiding in the Auckland courts?
Barrister done 3rd time for drink-driving. True if that was myself l would be spending time behind bars, being steel ones.
The judge is right, public are not interested in casting stones at Sacha or anyone else for that matter, live and let live!
Rugby mascot
What a joke Hastings rugby mascot is. Looks more like an egg! Whoever thought it up should be fired. Glad I don't live there. Bad as All Black black ring campaign.
Name the rugby ball mascot for Hastings? It looks like an egg, not a rugby ball. FY
What's up with Hastings' humpty dumpty mascot?

Hasn't anyone noticed that when National are in power they never stick to their promises? It's the rich get richer and low income earners barely survive. PV
In my opinion the More FM TV ad is lame.
Sadly, S Bathgate-Hunt, the Government doesn't give a flying shmuck about selling NZ land to the Chinese or anyone else. Money is the reason.
To the producers of the NZ music industry: Seriously need to think about remaking a talent show, eg Idol, X Factor. So much talent being wasted out there, guys. Come on, do something!
To the Maraenui Senior rugby team who won the senior 3rds, and to the coach Roger Aranui - well done, you made our community very proud.
Re tram: Another expensive white elephant for ratepayers, just like Splash Planet and the sports park. RSM
I agree with Greg regarding the beaches. Council, offer to pull your finger out and do something, instead of spending money on statues.
Warning people, re car insurance: Our insurance is market value. On the car lot our car is worth $48,000. On insurance books, it's worth $25,000. Check your policies.
Bruce Tait, you speak my language. A well-written letter to the editor. Well done!
Beneficiary bashing's always a good vote catcher.
Thumbs up from Des in Onekawa to the honest person who found my wallet at the beach and returned it by putting it in my letterbox. That was so kind.
To the person or persons who dumped all their rubbish in the clothing bins in Southland Rd at the weekend. It is not a tip. Clean it up. Absolute disgrace.
