Re: Four wheels trump two (Weekly, June 5):
Riders do come off second best in a collision. And although a fair percentage of rider crashes happen due to rider error, the clear majority arise in two-vehicle collisions where the other vehicle is at fault most of the time. Look twice for bikes.

Re: Point Cook West land sale a boon and burden, says action group (Weekly, June 5):
So [Planning Minister Matthew] Guy says “the government knew it had to put infrastructure in place”. No action, no response either from Terry Mulder. Shouldn’t he be speaking for the Liberals, as transport minister?

They need to stop the money-grabbing local government from also approving high-density zones in residential areas. Most don’t know that Wyndham council doesn’t need to consult the community when it declares residential areas mixed use. Council approved a 300-seat place of worship, 100 apartments, a bottle shop and some retail shops in a very small area of Alamanda estate. What a laugh for Point Cook. Council needs all the rates and taxes it can get to the detriment of the great communities being built for families.

Cr Intaj Khan clearly has no understanding of the challenges faced by Wyndham.

Re: Wyndham rates used to check on staff (Weekly, May 29):
How completely shameful! Think of all the good things that the council could have done instead of undermining their staff and engaging in covert operations!

There’s a huge difference between a legitimate investigation of suspected fraud and hiring a stooge to coerce employees to breach council policies. The latter only serves to undermine morale and create massive distrust of management.

Re: Wyndham council spending $15,000 to back referendum ‘yes’ vote (Weekly, May 29):
Council is managing its budget by hiring lazy staff, who drink and go shopping during the day; then it’s spending more money hiring undercover staff to spy on its own lazy workers, then more money to fight their unfair dismissal claims. Based on Wyndham’s population, the MAV should be asking for more money to be spent on public transport, not feeding their own pockets to run a campaign to get local incompetents recognised. If this is a referendum, Labor has lost another vote to the Greens.

Re: Sign up for Gonski or lose millions: PM (Weekly, May 29):
Come on, Dr Napthine, if you really want to tell the west that we are not being ignored, do a better job than Julia Gillard. Voters here are swinging to the Greens out of sheer frustration. It can’t be difficult to do a better job than Julia, when she did nothing for the west.
Continue to ignore us? (via web)
