GREAT idea to support the Tasmanian tourism industry and give it a boost, but quite possibly the worst implementation you will ever see.

One voucher sent to each Tasmanian household would have been much easier and fairer to all.

Will be interesting to hear how many of these thousands of vouchers are used, my guess will be about 50 per cent maximum, the rest will go to waste unused and many people who would have utilised them didn't get an opportunity.

THIS makes me so sad, although I'm not sure it includes us as my baby girl is buried in the woodland part of the cemetery. But having to remove pretty much anything that makes their spot special and gives loved ones a little peace is just heartbreaking.

THIS is absolutely disgusting (The Examiner, September 30). People pay a lot of money to have their family and loved ones placed to rest here, so they should be allowed to put whatever they like.

TRIED 22 times and couldn't get through.

Either disconnected, nothing or a message to say the number is too busy, phone back.

My first attempted call was right on time.

Very disappointed. Surely there is a better way?

WE tried for one hour by phone and computer and could not connect to register.

THE recent goings on down in Hobart with the Greens and the Housing Minister about lying to Parliament about evicting tenants from public housing overshadow the actual bill, where the government wants to get rid of tenants for no rhyme or reason.

This seems unfair, there must be a process to evict people like what they have in private rental, or is this too hard for our public servants to use, or does it take too long for our government to rid themselves of tenants they don't want?

READING from (The Examiner, September 29 ) regarding Greg Barns article, am I to believe that if two people commit an unlawful offence, those two people in different financial positions will be treated differently? This is the same bloke that wanted to put criminals in a minivan and take them flower picking in the community for an outing - poor things.

So now he wants people that know the law and fines to be treated differently based on whether they have money they've worked and those that are doing it a bit tough?

It discriminates against low-income earners, he says. The law is surely the law?

Please stop trying to be an advocate for change of criminal and stupid activities.

They will flock to you in numbers, but I guess that's how you make a living.

IT is always a tragedy when a large group of whales beach themselves for no apparent reason. There have been many theories put forward for this suicidal tendency from disease to interference to their echo sounding capability by the sonar of submarines.

Here is another theory for those with open minds to think about.

It is generally agreed by experts in the field that millions of years ago the original ancestors of whales were land animals living a semi-aquatic life who gradually evolved into the whales we know today.

Could it be that under certain circumstances some leftover instinct causes them to seek the land that their ancestors once inhabited but is deadly to them today?

WHAT a joyride it has been of late when driving around Launceston to discover colourful works of various art appearing on traffic signal lightboxes.

Encouraging artists of all ages to bring their interpretation of Australian botanical illustrator, Margaret Stone's craft to life is a win-win for all. The Electric Botany Art Project, Launceston City Council and Cityprom must be congratulated.

Invigorating our municipality with art after a year we will remember not is a planning triumph that will help toward enhancing our city pride to its beloved residents and future tourism.

I now invite landlords and property owners to invest in our many underused dirty inner-city laneways as these too can become the talk of the town and with clever imagination be used as tourism marketing too.

THERE has to be a better way than the wholesale culling of native animals.
