*  Good one Key. Let's bash the beneficiaries, they're always an effective election drawcard. How about cutting your oversized salary for a change. RB

*  Emmerson you are a very bad man heheheheee. You'll be on the next stinking hulk to Hobart. Oh and while I think of it, corgis don't smile. JS

*  To the scumbag who stole pensioners meals on wheels and the money to pay for it in Flaxmere. Hope your conscience pricks you and you choked on the meal.

*  Well done Eva, you were spot on in all you wrote.

*  Winz have a great scheme where they get the unemployed jobs by subsidising employers so much that they sack their other employees.

*  How can ex All Black captain Sean Fitzpatrick ever front up to this country again after riding that black ringed pinkie he was seen driving around in. We are the laughing stock of the world. Do we even know who we are any more if the "no sex back the blacks" campaign is regarded as Kiwi humour.

*  Re NZ apples into Aussie: We should boycott all Australian fruit and vegetables. They're tasteless anyway.

*  Those stolen horses put down and injuried. The 13 year olds need to work picking up horse s**t at the race circuit in Hawke's Bay for a year or SPCA duties. Joy

*  Welfare card debacle. Paula Bennett aye. Snapped!

*  Re fair price for child's haircut:: $16 is more than fair for the time and work that goes into it.

*  When are they going to fix the pods in Havelock North?

*  Wow, you would be mad to buy on the beach at Te Awanga and then cry about it.

*  This is for Athony Maney and his team at Napier Stephen Hill. I brought a very nice looking car from them and what a great service and welcome I got from the moment I walked through the door. Everyone there is just so helpful and does anything you ask them to do with a smile. I will go back again in the near future for sure. Thank you for everything you did for me, keep up the wonderful service always. Mark Smiley, Napier.

*  John Key at it again - 170,000 new jobs by 2014/15. Have a look how many people are made redundant since you became government. And no matter how much training you give to the young ones - who will hire them?JB

*  Cheap labour is all the youmg will get from their courses. Lots of companies I know of don't give 2 cents about what courses you have done. It's experince they need. PJ

*  I hope the scoreboard at McLean Park is going to be fixed before RWC. It's a bit of an embarrassment at the moment. LC

*  I wrote a letter to Westpac Bank about how much I enjoy their lovely service, and was overjoyed when the manager rang me himself to thank me. Lovely!
