Opening a can of Pringles for the first time in while, I certainly was angered that the size of the chips had shrunk but the company still used the same size canister.
Also TimTam packets look the same size as before yet the blister pack inside has larger spacing between the biscuits - less biscuits.
The list goes on with more and more products downsizing by deception.
What do companies take consumers for? We are not deceived, and will hunt down better value products, and yes, made in Australia.
Robert Lee, Summerhill.
Bank Profits
AUSTRALIA’S big banks keep making more and more huge profits each and every year.
Chief executive officers of all big banks keep patting themselves on the back for jobs well done for their respective banks.
What they don’t show is where all the profit comes from. More interest rises on loans, less interest on deposits and investment.
When is the money grabbing going to end. We are getting less and less money to live each and every year. Give us a go here, without us you wouldn’t be here.
David Parker, West Launceston.
Marriage equality
THE announcement that Messrs Abbott and Howard will lead the vote “No” campaign in the upcoming plebiscite obviously comes as no surprise, after all who better to turn back the clock to the 1950s having had so much practice during their time in office.

Raising children
ON MARRIAGE equality, I doubt that same-sex parents would instil hatred and discrimination in their children.
They have experienced enough of that in their own lives to know how negative that is.
