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.
All in all, TDB gives punters a very, very, very wide space to comment in but we won’t bother with out right lies or gleeful malice. We leave that to the Herald comment section.
EDITORS NOTE: – By the way, here’s a list of shit that will get your comment dumped. Sexist abuse, homophobic abuse, racist abuse, anti-muslim abuse, transphobic abuse, 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.

You know don’t you that this is going to be our Brexit. A wrecking ball swinging at the long-held if not completely agreed with, basis of our society. And the mendacious Uk pollies and advisors were willing to kick the props away with a tiny little wee wee majority only obtained by pi..ing on everyone by releasing false information about their health service being better off. in Kiwiland with the Treaty – donutheads have no idea of how that tattered memory and document has held us together so far and could be for ever. Because most people don’t want to work to keep a decent democracy they will play around with the idea of doing something with it as if it was cleaning out the car from sticks and stones with a vacuum if they ca’t get someone else to do it for them.
Don’t let the lazy buzzers get away with it true thinkers. They would wreck our working system completely like pulling wings from flies the sods.
They call it a housing crisis.
But really it is an interest rate crisis.

Buying houses has become something only rich people do….
….housing affordability has improved since 2021, when prices peaked, it is still stretched due to high interest rates.
How about that, rich people are even getting the benefit of lower house prices. While the Aussie banks are bleeding average Kiwi home owner white, and making record profits in the process.
2024 the year of class war. But only one side is fighting.
