The report on China ("Beijing ordered editorials denying censorship", 9/1) can be recycled for Australia with just a few name changes after Finklestein's recommendations are instituted. Nicola Roxon must be salivating.
FW Anning, Ascot, Qld
How long will it be before the ALP tries to emulate the Chinese Communist Party by forcing all newspapers to publish editorials supporting media censorship?
Patrick Cobham, Buderim, Qld
To what extent should business and the community be held hostage to the dynamic whims of environmental and animal welfare climate activism ("Attack on Whitehaven shows movement holds public in contempt", 9/1)?

Those embattled men and women fighting the bushfires would have to be the Australians of the Year.
Mike Fogarty, Weston, ACT
We must thank Julia Gillard for breaking her promise and introducing the carbon tax. I hate to think of the damage to the environment that may have been caused by the vast amounts of smoke from the bushfires raging in various parts of Australia. It is reassuring to think the tax is mitigating the environmental damage.
John Scardigno, Adelaide, SA
I thought Julia Gillard's carbon tax was supposed to stop all this ("The great heatwave of 2013", 9/1). Silly me.
Michael Gray, Dee Why, NSW
Cheaper electricity prices as promised by Prime Minister Julia Gillard or reliable supply? During Tuesday's heatwave conditions, price was the least of consumers' worries.
David Crommelin, Strathfield, NSW
Primary school students will be taught "consumer and financial literacy" ("Schools to teach business in Year 5", 9/1). Will this before or after students have achieved basic numeracy and literacy?
Judi Cox, Springfield, Qld
Nanny-in-chief Nicola Roxon should make a statement insisting that voting must remain compulsory. After all, the trip to the polling station is about all the exercise some of us get.
Ian Mastin, Woodgate Beach, Qld
We live in strange times indeed when the kilo in fashionable Paris can put on weight and the British pound has become one of the biggest losers ("Even the kilo can put on weight", 8/1).
Andrew Wyminga, Bicheno, Tas
