Cereal pest: Serrated tussock
The Dandenong Journal of November 12 warned residents not to try a do-it-yourself removal of the serrated tussock weed. It would be nice to have a photo of this weed so we know what we are supposed to look for. Thank you.

Re: Mosque for Doveton plan irks church
Christianity preaches tolerance to all. Let us as Christians lead by example rather than fear.

Daniel Nalliah says Islam is a “religion that doesn’t value freedom of religion”. Yet in the previous sentence he does exactly what he accuses Islam of when he says: “We don’t approve of Islam as a religion.”

Re: Mosque objections collected
We do not want a mosque right behind our homes. Sorry, we are for freedom of religions but cannot and will not tolerate a religion (Islam) which calls all other religious worshippers infidels. For less than 2 per cent of Muslims, you do not need so many mosques.

Why is it that whenever a church decides to build, if there is a vacant plot next to it, the Muslims decide to build bigger on an adjacent plot? This has happened in Endeavour Hills and many other places. We have a large mosque in Endeavour Hills, a large one in Dandenong South, and another huge one in Doveton.

For an area that has a 40 per cent Muslim population, we should thank the Muslims for not making too much fuss in going to an industrial area. Thank you Muslims.

Re: VCE a testing time for parents, too
Not all Indians coming to Australia seek job security or even financial freedom — sometimes it is just an appreciation of a different lifestyle to what we are used to in India.
As father to two children and an Indian emigrant, I wish that they have the freedom to become the best in what they want to do. While it is the responsibility of parents to guide their children, we cannot live their lives for them. Having lived in Australia for several years, it is apparent that not only Indians but other communities make sacrifices in raising their children. The focus on achievement, however, might be different.

I would love to have a first Indian-born player in the AFL soon, and for the Indian community to learn how to play Aussie rules as a way to communicate. I love all AFL teams, including the Hawthorn footballers who visit Little India in their spare time, especially during AFL multicultural round. I was born in India, but raised in Australia.
