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 never heard John Minto demanding Hamas accept it.”

    And I never heard Farrar demanding that the media do the news. I never saw any inkling of his enabling goodness.

    But he let slip that he was interested in Gunn’s run. Oops. Such fun.
    I missed a lot because I don’t have time for all this, but I happened to see that.
    Nobody is stopping him (or Minto) from doing the news today.
    In New Zealand we practise Tikanga. Teachers’ pets and their teachers are such a pain.

  2. Good on you for finding the time Jacqueline. I find your thoughts a bit shattered and scattered but we all are trying and try each other! Let me know where you found the time will you? I need some badly.

  4. The New Zealand Cook Strait Ferry Fiasco is a ‘National’ HUMILIATION!!!
    In this video I look at the complete disaster that is the NZ ferry replacement. The ferries are vitally important for New Zealand’s economy, yet you would not think so the way the government are behaving.

    The National party immediately cancelled the iReX Ferry replacement project as soon as they took power and transferred the money directly into the deep pockets of landlords.

    How Nicola Willis can keep her job after this is beyond me and how Luxon thinks this money is better spent on landlords profits shows just how out of touch he really is!

    Brain dead decision making based on political bigotry and spite.
    A disaster for infrastructure, and billions of taxpayer funds flushed down the mismanaged toilet, that is our real estate based economy.

    Pay up you government ning-nongs – try to get the amount down a bit for the sake of your pride. But for the sake of what is left of NZAO’s good name pay soon. I think you pollies, admin etc, can all take a $10,000 pay cut and pay that over right now.
    And the marine element can all gargle a litre of salt water each and clean their fevered brains out.

    It seems to me that it wasn’t an accident. It was either computer behaviour when a wrong button was pushed as in the Cook Strait ferry one, or it was part of a deliberately upsetting of normal systems in our activity in Pacific waters It seems unexplained like the Mikhail Lermontov marine disaster in the Sounds way back. Was it part of our ferry deal machiavellian moving?
