Let's move on with the Lakefront plan

Concerning your correspondents Jim Adams and John Pake's missives (Letters, October 27). May I be permitted to attach a considerable "utter nonsense" addendum to the former's assertion that the council shows that it doesn't care about Rotorua's next generation because they are pulling down the dilapidated Scouts hut. Also, I would like to join Mr Pakes in suggesting that, in regards the proposed Lakefront regeneration, enough has been said against it now let's move on with it; in his words: "enough hui, more let's doi!"

Abortion laws

I made a comment on Facebook which I would like to repeat concerning the Law Commission's Report on Abortion Laws in this country.

I cannot get over the media bias. Not just on this issue, but on several issues which endanger family-friendly values. They love to push the line of how "outdated" our laws are. As if suddenly 2018 is a magical year and we are desperately behind the times, and this and that country has legalised abortion, and we better catch up. Deny it as much as they like and sanitise the facts as much as they want, the bottom line is when an abortion occurs - there is a dead baby, and live people have made the decision to kill him or her.

At the request of the current Labour government, the NZ Law Commission has published its report, and it proposes that in one of three options, abortion up to birth could be legalised here in New Zealand.

While not seeing the other two options as a "solution" to an unwanted pregnancy when so many are trying to find babies to adopt, surely this will horrify many.
