Letters to the Editor

Letter: Rachel Hunter a poor choice for the Halbergs Letter: Union Jack would be irrelevant Letter: Treaty settlements are never simple Letter: Long-time Labour man is unimpressed Letter: Greens should foot the bill Letter: The deaf get a very poor deal Letter: Snake-oil salesmen in disguise Letter: Technology no substitute for contact with a human being Letter: One in six Kiwis is disabled - Stats NZ Letter: A small point about geography

OPINION: You report ("Call the council, not the neighbours", Feb 2) the statistics on complaints by neighbours made to city councils. Perhaps we have become a generally more complaining society - Kiwis were always good at speaking up when needed - but the media now reports many more complainants.

However, my impression is that we also have more active, voluntary clubs of every description, especially in our town, Whanganui. This says a lot more about how we are together than do the complaint figures.
