Announce protest actions, general chit chat or give your opinion on issues we haven’t covered for the day.

The Editor doesn’t moderate this blog,  3 volunteers do, they are very lenient to provide you a free speech space but if it’s just deranged abuse or putting words in bloggers mouths to have a pointless argument, we don’t bother publishing.

EDITORS NOTE: – By the way, here’s a list of shit that will get your comment dumped. Sexist language, homophobic language, racist language, anti-muslim hate, transphobic language, Chemtrails, 9/11 truthers, Qanon lunacy, climate deniers, anti-fluoride fanatics, anti-vaxxer lunatics, 5G conspiracy theories, the virus is a bioweapon, some weird bullshit about the UN taking over the world  and ANYONE that links to fucking infowar.

    Gisborne District Council’s building service manager Ian Petty said building inspectors applied the stickers after conducting rapid assessments, where health and safety was the priority.
    “That means we would always err on the side of caution     when applying stickers.”
    He said the stickers would be reviewed shortly.

    (Me: Why is health and safety so important now – there has been little past concern about housing standards and availability, I think disaster basics need to be of great concern, safety from flooding and being able to stay on a higher storey out of the water, with sanitary arrangements made as best, food, cleanliness and exit plans and regular calls by land or water vehicles and helping personnel with exiting for better always ready.)

    Entry is prohibited to red-stickered homes which have suffered severe damage and are considered a risk to people.
    Yellow-stickered homes are moderately damaged and entry is restricted.
    Petty said that having a property stickered was traumatic but there was support available to guide homeowners through the process.
    He advised people whose homes had been red or yellow-stickered to take photos of the damage where possible and to contact their insurers.

    “The lack of connectivity due to the loss of data and cellular networks has made this particularly challenging. It is a difficult conversation anyway without these layers of complexity.”

    Communications networks information is sparse and hard to gather by the ordinary person.
    Information is connected to reports on particular regions. The reports are mainly about the disaster and photos of flooding. Detail on how our communication systems are coping are lacking, some talk about improvements to regions. Saying – Shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted.
