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.
There might be a window of opportunity for NZAO as we slip-slide down with bits of picturesque violence eg bullet holes and blood on the street, drawing in people doing the ‘different’ disaster tourism pose.

Cash please, and may we have cheques back also please… ?
YES YES AE AE and JA JA DA DA OUI OUI HAAN (Hindi) OPO KEN KEN JES JES
Australia will require some shops selling essential items to accept cash from 2026, and the Reserve Bank is not ruling out a policy response to safeguard cash in New Zealand, either.
The Australian government will introduce a mandate that requires businesses selling items such as groceries medicines and fuel to accept cash from 1 January 2026.
It will also phase out the use of cheques.
Australia’s cash use has declined quickly – in 2007 it accounted for 69 percent of transactions, but in 2022 only 13 percent.
As we people don’t realise that cash is like oil on squeaky wheels or to feed into wooden ones to keep strength and prevent splitting, we need to act now or get ACT later up our orifices. So get some cash out with every card purchase please, and then spend it with some good hard-working people – keep the money circulating or we’re stuffed really and truly.
Man in Denmark hands in 80 guns and grenade during …

7 days ago — More than 8400 weapons have been turned in to Danish police this month as part of a nationwide amnesty to tackle violence between criminal gangs.
In NZAO:

…Epapara Poutapu bled to death on the afternoon of September 18, 2023, after the kitchen paring knife wielded by the teen defendant severed two major arteries in his neck as they faced off at the North Shore transit hub. The weapon had been used with such force that the tip of the blade broke off and lodged in Poutapu’s vertebrae, resulting in a bloody scene that left commuters shocked and traumatised….
s the defence wrapped up its case on Monday, jurors learned that a man matching Poutapu’s description had been acting intimidatingly to two other teen boys at the bus stop eight days earlier – leaving them alone only after an older woman intervened and told him off. Jurors had already been told of Poutapu’s mental health problems, and that he might have been off his schizophrenia medication, experiencing auditory hallucinations and muttering to himself.
They were not, however, told that he was a 501 deportee from Australia. Being forced to leave Australia, where he lived since the age of 1, was unfair and had left him off-balance and without family support, his father previously told Stuff…
[One lawyer said] “He’s responding only to what came at him,” she said, describing the defendant as having thrown a blind overhead punch with a knife in his hand after Poutapu tried to kick him in the head. “He was confronted by a threat he never anticipated.”
If this was written as fiction it wouldn’t be believable. Is NZAO a country that has recognisable reasonable living patterns and rules that promote responsible behaviour and confidence? Are we going to be an up-market Manus Island, first 501s then….?
