Lost tourism
While Minister Stuart Nash's comments about the future of tourism in New Zealand may seem overly harsh, he is right in saying that tourism will not return to what it has been.
Visitors from
Australia will probably be about the same level but the conditions that made possible large numbers from further afield are unlikely to return.
Many of these were young adventurers who could afford the ever-cheaper fares that competing airlines provided and there was little concern that they could get jobs back home when their trip had ended.

Not all equal
Correspondent Craig Clark (NZ Herald, January 18) has commented on how even though the US is a democracy, that it almost ended up with a dictator called Donald Trump.
However, he seems to be
assuming all democracies enjoy the same level of democracy. There are 75 democracies in the world, but only 22 of them are classified as full democracies and the US is not included as a full democracy.

I write to ask your advice.
Your country had its worst day in modern times on March 15, 2019 when a deranged right-wing terrorist attacked and murdered 51 people and
wounded 40 more in the Christchurch mosques.
We had our worst day yesterday when a President attacked our democracy and encouraged a mob to invade the Capitol buildings. A woman shot by police died. Our democracy was wounded.
Before bothering you, I reached out to the smartest guy I know in Washington, DC. That's Don Graham, the former owner and publisher of the Washington Post. He and I were interns together at Newsweek magazine in 1973, but his journalism career obviously turned out more noteworthy than mine.
