Please vote by 11 August in order to get your vote counted in the results printed in the September issue of CTC.
Last months question: ‘Do you feel positive about New Zealand’s economic future?’ had only a small number of votes of which two thirds said ‘no’. Thanks for those who took the time to vote.
Our reader polls don’t claim to be scientific and only reflects the opinion of only those who have chosen to participate.
Welcome
My ears have been burning, more than usual, this month as I have received many comments about the 1080 and pest control articles that have been printed over the last few months.
Like. “I know that DOC’s pro-poison propaganda has been swallowed hook line and sinker by some otherwise intelligent people and this type of propaganda appears regularly in your magazine.”
And. “I thought that people’s intellect and community spirit would result in [certain] people being quietly ignored. However with the continued publication of their repetitive unhelpful views and the bullying nature that has developed around the whole pest control issue this is not happening.”
Plus. “The last couple of editions have made me decide I will again save my precious time and put the Chronicle immediately out for recycling.” “Who is UCLA anyway?!”
Damned if I do and damned if I don’t!
I try very hard to present a balanced point of view. Some months may be more pro or anti; that all depends on what is submitted.
I make no apologies for using my discretion to hold over articles or letters to the editor to enable a right of reply to also be published.
With all that said, this magazine’s strength is it showcases the diverse range of opinions, beliefs, activities and ventures that are fostered, flourish and flounder in this region.
So, please keep sending your letters, articles and opinions, that is what the Chronicle is here for.
