Sabine Lux Renwick The fact that my kids are healthy and well.
Finally, a programme I like
The Big Spend
Dear Madam & Sir, I finally struck a programme I really, really enjoy—on Choice, “Jack Irish,” a who-done-what that puts the weak, childish dreck that constitutes Jack Reacher, NCIS etc. in its proper place. Took a lot of finding though.
Had time to read the big spend up, I notice that the majority is to be spent on transport infrastructure mainly in the North Island with Auckland getting the lions share. Some monies to schools and hospitals. At the last election this government promised to build hundreds of affordable houses with Kiwi Build, this has never happened.
Good on yer, Aussies! Don’t fancy the new “Alone” much, don’t see the point of putting the poor hopefuls in such a totally hostile place, where they can’t really exercise initiative. Yours faithfully, Bill Holvey
Bex Nafe Blenheim My family. Life has its ups and downs, but family’s always there.
With an ever increasing list of people needing housing and the government bringing in hundreds of refugee families and housing them {and good on them for that}, there was no mention of a housing program to ease that growing problem we have with the homeless New Zealanders, and the list is getting longer. KIWI
MDC and environment Dear Ed In this day and age of growing environmental awareness you’d expect the Marlborough District Council to be a shining example. But at Shep’s Park in Severne Street was the notice warning of glyphosate i.e. Roundup herbicide being used. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) (World Health Organisation) labels glyphosate as a probable human carcinogen. “Roundup not only has the potential to jeopardise human health, but it also poses a risk to livestock, wildlife and ecosystems in the areas surrounding where the weed killer is sprayed” says Green
Planet. The coverup by corporates allaying fears about the herbicide, using compliant scientists has been well documented. Read the book “Whitewash” by Carey Gillam, Research Director for the consumer group US Right to Know Now in the election campaign, two Awatere/Wairau ward councillors lauded climate change and the need for an emergency declaration. “Any denier is dumb,” said one. Would those councillors label the use of Roundup in public parks as not only “dumb” but dangerous too? Don Coyote
