Forgotten
Saturday 10 August 2013 | Published in Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor, My mother’s family settled in New Zealand in 1842, and my father’s family came to New Zealand in 1913, so I consider that I qualify to be called a New Zealand citizen.

Investigate MMR
Thursday 8 August 2013 | Published in Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor, If the investigation into the fisheries minister’s recent dealings with a certain Chinese fishing company is to be thorough and comprehensive, it is imperative that this investigation also extends to the Ministry of Marine Resources.

Fishy business?
Wednesday 7 August 2013 | Published in Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor, Bishop’s fishy business has finally caught up with him, we hope! Quite incredulous that some people are jumping to his defence.
Abuse and misuse of our resources
Wednesday 7 August 2013 | Published in Letters to the Editor

What is Crown Law doing?
Saturday 3 August 2013 | Published in Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor, Both Teina Bishop and Tim Tepaki are dilly-dallying around, probably to stall and get sympathy or seek advice on how to get the minister out of this current mess without repercussions.

'Govt have got it right'
Friday 2 August 2013 | Published in Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor, To the smoke signaller who speculated in Wednesday’s CINews that I may want a job with the Bishop, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I am retired and have no need for a job.

Number plate is missing in action
Wednesday 31 July 2013 | Published in Letters to the Editor
How can the political leaders of this country set good examples to the younger generation about respecting the rule of law and abiding to the country’s laws when Police Minister Teariki Heather continues to drive his $60,000-plus tax-funded Ford pickup with the front number plate deliberately removed? The only valid reason the number plate has been removed from this luxury Ford pickup is to minimise any further bad public relations.

The bottom line!
Monday 29 July 2013 | Published in Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor, Reading the revelation by the minister Teina Bishop in CI News on Saturday 27 July about the sale and purchase of the Orongo and Bounty, it was clear that the Bishop purchased the Bounty to help previous owners and he still has a $43,000 debt hanging around his neck on his purchase of the Orongo, and not a good outcome for him.
Dedicated Demos
Saturday 27 July 2013 | Published in Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor, The response by True Blue Demos (Taking a clear stand, July 24) to our letter calling on the Leader of the Opposition to explain the source of authority to commit our party to a ‘no coalition government policy’ was most disheartening and unsatisfactory, to say the least.
