ON SANTA
Mark Soper, the person behind organising Santa for this year’s Christmas parade in Nelson, has said next year’s parade will be “even more multicultural”. Given the reaction this year, I think he just ruled himself out of involvement in next year’s parade.
GREG MOIR, Kerikeri.
RACE NOT THE ISSUE
This latest stunt of removing Santa from a parade and replacing him with someone without the appropriate suit is another example of cultural engineering.
I heard Guyon Espiner on the radio trying his hardest to make this a racial issue when it is not.
As the lady said many times, Santa could be black, white brown or green, colour was not the issue.
The issue was that it was called a Santa parade and the children were denied that pleasure of seeing Santa, all in the name of this modem ideology of being seen to be politically correct.
Please stop trying to create division and disharmony by trying to tell us how we should think or behave.
It is no wonder the Trump cry of false news resonates with so many people.

TE PUNA WAI ORA
WHAT a great step forward for intensive care in Dunedin, but why the change of name?
The new name of "Te puna wai ora — Southern Critical Care" seems not to reflect the focus of intensive or critical care.
Te puna wai ora seems to translate as "spring of life" or "fountain of life" rather than intensive or critical care.
Is there a special reason for this name change—political newspeak, for example?
