We all came to New Zealand at one time from places around the world.
We are lucky because New Zealand is God's own.
We can be different but are the same in many ways.
We laugh, we cry, we love our families.
Keep up the good work Fisher and hold your head high.

Road manners lacking
Courtesy is something lacking on our roads.
I agree motorists should give buses the chance to get back into the traffic stream (News, February 5).
Courtesy however, is a two-way street. When we lived in Brisbane, if we gave a bus a flash of lights to move out ahead of us, the response by the bus driver was a quick wave of the hand by way of thanks.
If our local bus drivers did the same thing, and acknowledged being given way to, maybe more car drivers would do so.
Pity that courtesy is not included in our road code. Maybe traffic cops should give vouchers to those with good road manners.
