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.

  1. I’m glad TDB offers a platform like this! However, how do you think the space for protest actions could be better used to spark more tangible social change? Seems like a perfect opportunity to combine talk with action.

  2. It looks as if Radionz is out and RNZ is in with specially imported tragedies and wrongdoings just for us Kiwis.

    So a Victorian policeman was killed and we have to bear that on our shoulders! As if we didn’t have enough troubles and disasters that we can’t face up to (certainly at administrative level). And it sounds as if the person was a new citizen (34 year old Belgian, had been with the Vic force for 6 years). There was another officer but there wasn’t room for him along with the rave treatment given for this young policeman.

    Seems like join the police, travel the world, I found one from Sth Africa recently.
    And retired police officers, civil servants and politicians can go onto short careers elsewhere if they are lucky and well-behaved.

    We should get some great marching footage. Some good flash mob scenes and military music. If it was a battle of music and marching styles that would be a scenic treat outrivalling Edinburgh’s Military Tattoo. Let us do away with war, it always makes people unhappy in the long run.

    We would all be better off with this style of no-war celebration I believe in fact I am sure – if we could keep evil down and good up.
