I suppose terrorists rarely do

Seeking to excuse what is inexcusable and indefensible shows a callous lack of insight. Instead of being truly contrite they have the audacity to hide behind the coward's excuse of "intention". The flawed judgment that conceived, filmed, edited and aired the segment is compounded by a clear and unvarnished intention to offend. What choice offerings next, boys the intellectually disabled? Some things should just be left alone because they are not the stuff of comedy skits. Mary Lou Carter Drummoyne Gee, I didn't see that bit. I stopped viewing when I saw the preceding item on the Fritzl family tragedy. Viewers who made it through to the "make a wish" satire obviously have a higher tolerance. Philip Smart North Balgowlah The Chaser's sketch on children in hospital is an indication of what happens when people run out of ideas (and tact), but seemingly have an excess of hubris. Garry Manley Newtown The "make a realistic wish foundation" skit was definitely an "Oh, no!" moment. However, I suggest all the horrified complainants make a large donation to the Make a Wish Foundation and thank The Chaser for the publicity. Judith O'Brien Seven Hills War of words follows doctor's murder Michael McIntosh (Letters, June 4) thinks the murder of George Tiller was not terrorism because the gunman would not have considered it such. I suppose terrorists rarely do. Terrorism's defining feature is that it seeks to intimidate a group. Killing a doctor in his church shows that nowhere in the US is safe for doctors who support abortion. Yes, let's be clear: the murder of Dr Tiller was an act of terrorism. Ken Finlayson East Corrimal Actually, Judith Ridge (Letters, June 4), prolife commentators have not blamed the victim. Hundreds of US prolife groups have condemned the shooting. National Right to Life has extended its sympathies to Dr Tiller's family, and has condemned unequivocally acts of violence whatever their motivation. Henk Verhoeven Beacon Hill Surely the issue is not whether Scott Roeder is a terrorist but that he is a dangerous religious Rosetta Stone Language fundamentalist. Such individuals or groups should not be confused with the larger pacifist prolife Christian movement, which opposes the use of violence to further the same political end. Ross Pulbrook Wyong Turnbull's lack of credibility This is ridiculous. Malcolm Turnbull points to increased rural exports and argues that without them we would be in recession ("Nation bucks global trend", June 4). With this logic the Opposition can claim Australia would be in recession at any given time if not for the mineral exports, or the housing boom, or the car sales This pointscoring attempt is not credible. Carsten Burmeister Cremorne Can we now talk about a positive contraction of the economy? Jim Ayling Kirrawee Holden backs into reality How gullible does Mark Reuss think we are ("Jobs and factories safe, says Holden", June 3)? With the demise of the Pontiac, Holden has lost about 30 per cent of its production. This translates into excess capacity, the two worst words in the manufacturing language. Excess capacity equates to jobs and overhead costs, and if they are not reduced or eliminated they must be absorbed by existing production. This, of course, drives up the cost of those vehicles, reducing profit unless prices can be increased not a viable option in today's marketplace. The handout from the Australian taxpayer is for the development of a small, fuelefficient vehicle not to cover Holden's excess capacity costs.
