Dear Editor

Would someone please explain to me why, when we are still being told to wear a mask in many situations, our Prime Minister moves in for face-to-face contact when greeting Scott Morrison on his arrival from Australia? Is a hand-shake no longer appropriate?

Also, the Prime Minister refused a Covid jab. Why were nine Customs border workers fired for following her example?

Signed

H Robertson St Heliers
