The Daily Blog Open Mic – 5th March 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.

It is not too early to talk about retreating rather than rebuilding after Cyclone Gabrielle, according an environmental engineer who helped move an entire Australian town to higher ground after catastrophic floods.
More than a dozen people died when a metres-high wall of water flooded Grantham, west of Brisbane, in 2011.
A swift decision was made to up-sticks and essentially move it up a hill with the help of government and council funding. The rebuild was complete within a year.
Now, people living in the West Auckland beach settlement of Muriwai face an uncertain future, with many homes red-stickered. And it is the same for flood victims in Hawke’s Bay, such as those in the devastated Esk Valley and in some areas of Tairāwhiti…
