The Daily Blog Open Mic – 29th January 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.
I’m very sensitive about money. So Wellington City Council and indeed all councils it seems, and me. have this in common.

Documents provided under the Local Government Information Act by Wellington City Council show the exhibition made a loss, but the council refused to say how big the deficit was.
The council also said due to commercial sensitivities it could not release the specific number of how many people visited the event.
It did tell RNZ that the event had a target of 43,000 attendees and that tens of thousands of people attended.
Due to commercial sensitivities the council also refused to share how much ratepayer money was spent on the exhibition.

Sounding good. Don’t get carried away but we might be in a going forward direction.
