Re: Drivers see red over Point Cook Road (Weekly, September 19):
OK . . . we already know this, thanks RACV. We know this intimately as we form part of that long winding line of cars every morning. What’s the next course of action? What are they/we doing to correct this painfully obvious problem?

Re: PM points finger at state (Weekly, September 19):
Worrying indeed that the cuts should fall heavily on the sector which caters most for the least educationally advantaged. No wonder that the minister, Peter Hall, who seems a decent fellow, thought of resigning. Like the PM, but a decade earlier, I was a kid of parents who “didn’t have the opportunity” and benefited from governments’ commitment to education. I worked hard too, but I benefited from the visions and commitments of Bob Menzies and Gough Whitlam, to name a couple. There is no need for partisanship here. This wealthy nation should be committed to a quality education system with fair opportunity for all.

Hope Ms Evans put as much effort into explaining to her son that climbing furniture is not acceptable behaviour.

Re: Plea to keep Werribee South jet-ski ramp (Weekly, September 4):
When the modifications were made to the boat ramp at Werribee South, no mention was made of jet-skis launching there. The addition of jet-skis simply makes it too dangerous for a disabled kayaker to launch at weekends. If the council is “working on making the beach accessible for all residents” then what is the plan?
The foreshore of Port Phillip Bay is the biggest recreational asset that Wyndham Council has and it has been neglected for too long. We need an accessible safe swimming area for all residents and now is the time to create one.
The area around the current jet-ski ramp would be ideal. I am sure the ramp and surrounding area with some planning and forethought to be made to comply.
