How come we pay $90 thousand for a sex offender in jail per year yet their victims have to fight for compensation they deserve. Is that justice?
Has the Government ever thought of raising the tax on the 10 per cent of top earners by 1 - 2 per cent so
we don't have to borrow overseas, or would that be unfair?
First of all I agree with AR. To the older lady at Pak'nSave with a blonde fringe and brown hair who saw us waiting for her carpark when she took her trolley back but still stopped to chat with a friend she saw while we sat there waiting and had to end up parking somewhere else. How rude are you! You should be ashamed of yourself!
Went to Taradale Library on a Sunday, they not open til 12 and Onekawa Pools open at 11. Come on open earlier.
First visit to Napier Pak'nSave - what a positive experience, after meeting checkout operator, Tom.
Good stories Waimarama kids, you should be proud of yourselves. J

Why should school kids be given free breakfast? Parents responsibility.
J, re student loans: Many young people don't pay anythng on their loans. Perhaps an older student would have a conscience about paying it back.
Bob Hall, in "religion today" took a shot at people who do not share his view of the world. I assure him, it is a valid option to live morally, ethically and lovingly without reference to the super-natural.
Thank you to Lyn at Farmers, Napier, for helping me through the doors after shopping. I am in a motorised wheelchair.
Why is it that the streets portrayed on TVNZ as poverty stricken and bereft all have Sky satellite d�es attached. Go figure! God bless the welfare mentality.
Went to Sweeney Todd, what a fabulous show! Thanks to all who made it possible.
