* How can Sacha Beacham, third conviction of drink/drive, work as a lawyer when she has no respect for the law.
* In my opinion, Bill English's budget was a whitewash. All he did was pay lip service to more futuristic hollow promises yet again. The Nats are great at makng
cuts that badly affect ordinary New Zealanders while tellng us to tighten our belts yet their own belts are never tightened and in fact, have muffin tops. The Nats spend, spend, spend and are out of touch with the people.
* Two ducks can quickly turn into l2 ducks. It doesn't take long before we are overrun with ducks. They poo all over the grass which gives cattle salmonella. We need to shoot to control them.
* Hope Stuart Nash watched Country Calendar last Saturday morning - a lesson in economics for him.
* I agree. Who is helping our flood victims? Money still pouring into Canterbury (no I'm not being nasty to them). But now people at our own backdoor need help. RS
* What happened to Margaret Robertson's rederendum to reduce MPs to 99? They are public servants aren't they?
* Havelock North residents please pick up your dog's poo. Get in practise for picking up Mcdonalds rubbish!
* You go Brian Mackie re breastfeeding. You are the man! If only there were more of your kind out there then it would be easier to get our boobs out in public!
*  The doctors' prices in the Bay are stupid, especially when you get told to go with one problem at a time. Shucks, money made frm trees not grown on trees! Bogu
* Re letters to editor:- Brilliant Mr Whincop, brilliant! CM
