GANG MEMBERS THROW OBJECTS AT POLICE OUTSIDE EAST AUCKLAND BAR (Times, May 7):

Jones Dabid

• They should simply crush those seized bikes and make those gang members watch the destruction.

ANGER OVER PROPOSED CHANGES TO EQUAL PAY ACT (Times, May 7):

Alicia Vroegop

• This is a gross abuse of power. An amendment they’d never have been elected on, it’s never been discussed, and cynically ushered in under urgency so there’s no consultation. In my opinion, this lot have just waived any shred of credibility that’s left. Disgusted doesn’t cover it.

Leanne Barrett

• So nobody wants equity, same job, same pay!

LAW CHANGE WOULD BAN SOCIAL MEDIA FOR UNDER 16’s (Times, May 6):

James Bremner

• ACT has said it won’t support the law, so it won’t happen. Good news!

MP PROPOSES CHANGES TO ANIMAL WELFARE LAWS (Times, May 6):

Kathleen McCaughtrie

• Great news. And as an Australian I’m pleased it includes Australian products in its backward farming practices like cutting skin off sheep (musling). My own hope is kangaroo meat will be banned from being imported to NZ. Personal and overwhelming evidence supports it is not humanely sourced at all.

David Bousfield

• The first sensible thing from the Greens in a while.

HUNTING AND FISHING MINISTER ENJOYS START OF GAME-BIRD SEASON (Times, May 5):

Stephen Robertson

• Totally support – good, clean, healthy fun that provides kai for families and pest control at [the] same time that saves our native flora and fauna.
