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.
Interesting statement and plea/demand for advance. Also striking art work.

…Though governments everywhere have handed over their national agenda to corporate interests, Harper’s conflation of the two has been total. His abject servitude to business, especially the oil industry, knows no bounds.
In his recent speech to the Tory hordes in Calgary, the PM made this frighteningly clear: “In this party,” Harper declared, “we will not accept that environmental protection must stop economic development.”..
NZ/AO may be facing similar. The Canadian Conservatives tried to avoid climate change policies. Ours could do the same. It all makes sense when staying in power is all that concerns you.

Stephen Harper: master manipulator

(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Toronto_mayoral_by-election
In 2023 a byelection was held where the winner defeated 99 other candidates. She was replacing a man who had been found guilty of an affair with a staffer. Whether this would affect his work or the probity of his usual behaviour one does not know. His wife and family wouldn’t like it but this demand of having no personal misdemeanours, even driving ones, is very strange I think in these awful times and is stupid puritan behaviour.
