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.

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.

    Fathead!
    Kaipara District Council could become the first council in New Zealand to can its Māori ward under newly passed government legislation.
    The council is expected to “disestablish” its first-term Te Moananui o Kaipara Māori ward at a short-notice extraordinary meeting in Mangawhai on Wednesday.
    This means the ward set up in October 2022 will be gone before the next local elections in October 2025.

    Should Kaipara District Council (KDC) vote to get rid of the ward on Wednesday, it will become the first council in New Zealand to do so following the Local Government (Electoral Legislation and Māori Wards and Māori Constituencies) Amendment Act becoming law this week.
    Mayor Craig Jepson called the extraordinary meeting in a 1 August letter to KDC chief executive Jason Marris, 24 hours after the government’s new Māori ward law kicked in.
    The extraordinary meeting’s purpose would be to “consider and decide whether to disestablish or retain Māori wards”, Jepson’s letter said.

    Now here is someone who is still alert, still thinking and trying for good outcomes – all together now!

    …The pandemic and extreme weather events have made people realise how quickly food might become scarce, he says, so his social enterprise wants to help more locals grow their own.
    The plan is to nurture and donate fruit tree seedlings to marae and kura in the area and also sell the trees in order to fund the donations.,,,

  3. What a good idea for those with pregnancy questions. Ask an experienced person, not AI or some link where there is likely to be a black hole of fact that fits.

    “Some people really, really benefit and really value having all of the information. And some people say ‘I don’t really need all of that. I need you to help me with enough information to make good decisions but I don’t want to know everything’.”
    Good thinking. ‘The Unexpected’ helps Navigate Pregnancy….(so you don’t end up the creek without a paddle! – My comment.)
