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: The Waihopai Three have successfully argued their "greater good" justification for breaking the law. I believe this is also known as "the end justifies the means". Is this not the same argument used by former United President George W Bush and former British prime minister Tony Blair for their interventions in Afghanistan and Iraq? So the Waihopai Three have actually argued that Messrs Bush and Blair are not only justified in what they have done, but are moral leaders of our society.
