Friday 27: Handouts are political suicide
Wednesday 1 April 2009 | Published in Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor, Further to the letter by Don Carlaw (CINews March 24), I would totally agree that the $3m stimulus package put aside by parliament in early February be utilised for something far more beneficial than handouts to a select few businesses. The example quoted was on a loan of $500,000 at an interest rate […]

Dear Editor, After reading Graham Wragg’s recommendation of a book call ‘The God Delusion’ by Richard Dawkins, I suggest he also read the books below which show up theories such as what Dawkins dedicates his life to as inaccurate and manipulating. These books are very scientific – despite the information spouted by certain individuals recently […]

Dear Editor, There is nothing confusing about my letter of Saturday March 28 in which I challenged all parties meaning the Evans, the Chittys, the Steadmans, the Wraggs and whoever else wants to join the debate (as they put it) to appropriate the answer ie the truth to man’s origin. Read my letter properly and […]

Dear Editor, According to your front page article on March 20, Sir Terepai pledges to run the Sunday flight referendum. You have quoted Sir Terepai saying that government will deliver the promised referendum on Sunday flights to Aitutaki. He further states that he is a man of his word, yet he cannot say when the […]
