battles but I think that you and your team crossed the line.
Have you forgotten that we are meant to be friends?
Anzac brothers, classic sporting rivals, we share great actors, great sport champions and usually great relations. We all can have a laugh, but these are racist comments and as for calling out for Pauline Hanson well what does that say! I thought she was a freak of political nature, but is that who you Aussies want to help with your so-called problem?
As the editor I thought that you would have proof read this article and found it to be a bit over the top. I think we should leave our battles for the sports field.
See you at the Rugby world cup digger!
We are 2 kiwis working hard for our cash in your beautiful country, too bad the writers of this story are about as smart as the beggars always hassling me for a spare smoke or loose change, if they want the jobs they should shower and claim them. Its not my fault your bosses hire kiwis.
Good luck for your future publications cobber, and I look foward to your reply.

Angry Working Kiwis.

Dear Angry Working Kiwis,
“The Pale Menace” article was a satirical piece. Was it not blatant?
Yours sincerely,

Transport in the colonies
Dear The Paper,
Are motorists in Melbourne the rudest in the world? I’m from London and one of the blessings of trodding the urine drenched streets was the sense of advantage over those stuck in traffic. Congestion meant stasis, and one could comfort oneself that feet and public transport could be relied upon to get there in plenty of time.
A friend of mine recently remarked that in Australia pedestrians are people who can’t afford cars. Whilst pounding the pavements of Melbourne, however, the walker is at the mercy of smug abuse and hand gestures, rendered from the cosy confines of reinforced steel. There is a massive advantage in driving in this city. As we speak our household owns three different cars – and I don’t blame them, I’m sick of waiting for trams!
yours in thought,
Brendan Blair.
