The only point I can take from the letter by the executive director of the APC, Derek Wilding, is that every now and then an example needs to be made of someone. This time Bill Leak just happened to be that someone.

Your letter-writer (3/6) is right about those nasty wind farms spoiling the countryside. Perhaps what the agricultural areas need are more of those nice coal-fired power stations?

James McDonald (Letters, 3/6) suggests Julia Gillard could have become Victorian premier and introduced a model education system. Please don't give her ideas, James.

David Anderson (Letters, 3/6) says Tony Abbott showed some guts in walking away from the electoral funding bill agreement. Wasn't it because the opposition MPs' phones and email inboxes were jammed with protests?

OK, Prime Minister, now tell me us if we should worry about a CFC tax.

When she announced the September 14 election date, Julia Gillard stated the period in between would not be used for campaigning. Has she done anything but campaign?

457 visas don't come in Weeties packets. As well as targeting dodgy employers, I hope the government will also investigate the public servants who are approving shonky applications. 

The upcoming federal election will be a referendum on Australia's price on carbon pollution, the single issue dividing the two major parties.

Bill Leak, you've said it all and made us smile as well. There's no one who could ape your unique style. 

What's all this talk of a female candidate for Batman ("Female force emerges to challenge 'faceless' man", 3/6)? Would that mean she'd have a Wonder Girl as a sidekick?
