* I agree with VSC - it's written in our laws, NZ is a Christian democracy. Those who don't like that are free to leave our country. Please take the unwelcome foreign drug traffickers with you.
* Big thumbs up to the Hawke's Bay police. Law and order will prevail, keep up the good work!
* Why is it that politicians get an annual salary for the rest of their lives after 3 terms in Parliament? SE
* Petrol $1.30 a litre in Oz, why so dear in NZ? MB
* Why bother fixing Christchurch sewers? Composting toilets don't need pipes, install them instead. Where are our oh so clever leaders on this? CT
* I was watching drug bust on TV Monday night, May 2, and a policeman with his gun in the passengers seat had no seat belt on. The car was still moving. Don't you think safety first or does that law only apply to other people. Ads clearly state always wear your belt. I think he should fine himself.
* Blunt drill texter: Buy a sharpening tool. Not expensive, easy to use, available at good engineering tool retailers. When you buy any tool remember, you get what you pay for. JS
* Yes, what does happen to the money taken at the Hastings recycling centre? J
* The Telecom XT people tell me I am the only one dropping calls, anyone believe that? Is Vodafone the answer?
* Thanks Pak'nSave for th 31c a litre off petrol, fantastic rebate. Let's hope we keep getting this offer regularly, we are going to need it. JH
* Hone Harawira you've just shown us what sort of man you are. Bin Laden didn't care who he killed - children, mothers, fathers in 911 or in his own country. If we got all the scum of the earth what a beautiful world we would have. Where do you fit in that line now Hone?
* Hone Harawira is no good for this country. He makes sure racism will always be a heated topic. AM, Taradale
