The Daily Blog Open Mic – 10th October 2023
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.
EDITORS NOTE: – By the way, here’s a list of shit that will get your comment dumped. Sexist language, homophobic language, racist language, anti-muslim hate, transphobic language, 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.

The political desire for exposure and more air time is still strong in these end times – before the election.
Thinking of my feelings about the Greens, worthy as they are but inclined to stray from their path. Billy Joel expresses my ideas in his song: Love ’em or not you can’t do without them!
She’s Always a Woman to Me
… She can kill with a smile, she can wound with her eyes
And she can ruin your faith with her casual lies
And she only reveals what she wants you to see
She hides like a child but she’s always a woman to me
She can lead you to love, she can take you or leave you
She can ask for the truth but she’ll never believe you
And she’ll take what you give her as long as it’s free
… Yeah, she steals like a thief, but she’s always a woman to me
Oh, she takes care of herself, she can wait if she wants
She’s ahead of her time
Oh, and she never gives out and she never gives in
She just changes her mind
… And she’ll promise you more than the garden of Eden
Then she’ll carelessly cut you and laugh while you’re bleeding
But she’ll bring out the best and the worst you can be
Blame it all on yourself ’cause she’s always a woman to me
… She is frequently kind and she’s suddenly cruel
But she can do as she pleases, she’s nobody’s fool
And she can’t be convicted, she’s earned her degree
And the most she will do is throw shadows at you
But she’s always a woman to me…

MBIE: Aw, soz! It won’t happen again. (Until it does, until it did)
MBIE: We’ve amended our processes and procedures in this space going forward, and we know our Minister has complete faith in our ability to deliver fair and equitable immigration policy and enforcement practices.
We have assured our Minister that we have a commitment to continuous reviews and improvement and a number of our team are currently have, and are undertaking Kaizen courses in Kobe as I speak. (Rhubarb rhubarb)

Cringe Central. Since we went neoliberalfreemarket we have been having a series of tragic or embarrassing or both, malfeasances or something like.
How can we get rid of this blasted so-called efficient economic system that leaks money, doesn’t provide expertise at a reasonable cost and takes over with foreigners who have strange ways. They make us look like simple simon farm-kids out of a nursery rhyme book chewing on bits of grass. Well hay, maybe we are. You haven’t seen anyone eating grass! Well don’t hold your breath.
