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.

Stuff.co.nz reports a devastating earthquake has struck Afghanistan.
https://www.stuff.co.nz/world-news/360808492/magnitude-6-earthquake-strikes-afghanistan
We have Afghan interpreters, we have NZDF aircrew, and aircraft, and helicopters, and trained rescue teams, all supposedly instantly at the ready to provide disaster relief and save lives. We have extensive disaster relief capability. (We don’t have a multi-purpose NZDF disaster relief ship, but it wouldn’t be much help anyway as Afghanistan is landlocked.)
We have a duty to do something.
The war in Afghanistan cost New Zealand $600 million NZD and 10 New Zealand lives.
If we were able to spend and sacrifice so much to take lives in Afghanistan.
How much will we spend to save lives in Afghanistan?
NZD $10 million, NZD $20 million, NZD $50 million, NZD Zilch?

This is important info that Greenpeace is reporting.
Catch up with what Fonterra has been doing under our gvernance3. We have sold it and now?
Greenpeace is revealing that new data provided by Stats NZ shows that palm kernel imports for the first six months of 2025 are higher than they have been at any point in the last ten years. Greenpeace says this continues to undermine the ‘grass-fed’ claims made by Fonterra and other New Zealand meat and dairy companies…
Earlier this year, parts of New Zealand were struck by the worst drought in 40 years, which Greenpeace says likely contributed to the increased demand for imported feed.
***Palm kernel is a supplementary feed for dairy cows that comes from deforested areas across Southeast Asia. New Zealand is the world’s biggest importer of the feed, importing almost 2 million tonnes of it every year.***
The Stats NZ data indicates that for the first six months of 2025, palm kernel imports were up 40% compared to the same time period for 2024…
DIRTY LYING NZ DAIRYING WHICH BESMIRCHES THE COUNTRY AND ALSO THE NOISY, GROSS FARMER-TYPES THAT FRONT UP IN NATIONAL AND ACT TO THEIR DETRIMENT AND OURS.
“It’s clear that Fonterra’s dairy is anything but grass-fed. There are simply too many cows in New Zealand, and there isn’t enough grass to feed them all, so the industry relies on cheap, dirty products like palm kernel.”
Palm kernel has been the subject of significant controversy due to links to rainforest destruction in Southeast Asia. Earlier this year, an Indonesian Government document revealed that all five of the companies bringing palm kernel into New Zealand were linked to illegal operations in Indonesia.
Additionally, a report by Rainforest Action Network showed that Fonterra’s main palm kernel supplier – Agrifeeds – was linked to illegal operation in the protected rainforest ecosystem highlighted in David Attenborough’s The Secret Lives of Orangutans.
