The Daily Blog Open Mic – 21st September 2025
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.

This is a class thing really. Family may not want to hep their elderly relative, or be able to, and it is reasonable for a long-term carer doing good things for the person to claim the situation of partnership after many years. But wealthy people have an interest in gathering money and won’t worry about fairness and their own lack of input to the elderly’s wellbeing. It involves work believe me, and if done pleasantly makes all the difference to the person’s happiness.
So the law needs to consider that and not regard it just as a property – financial matter thing. The caregiver in our family’s matter was left $70,000 out of sufficient estate for all so I know the various aspects of this.
