The Daily Blog Open Mic – Sunday 18th March 2018
Announce protest actions, general chit chat or give your opinion on issues we haven’t covered for the day.
Moderation rules are more lenient for this section, but try and play nicely.
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, climate deniers, anti-fluoride fanatics, anti-vaxxer lunatics and ANYONE that links to fucking infowar.
NOT the mainstream media:
‘Pompeo the terrible?’

I was dismayed to see at question-time that The Nats were allowed to string questions together in Socratic series. This is a well established take-down system, and hard to counter. Allowing alternating questions is a better way to make sure all sides of a question are approached.
The alternative will be to risk the Australian system, where the Opposition are allowed one question, and then the Minister talks for 15 minutes.
The aim of giving more opportubnuity to the opposition may be praiseworthy but it is naive and ultimately counter-productive.

What a wonderful country and society we have, oh so caring, and oh so humane and law abiding. Meanwhile some middle class property owners in Auckland do employ contractors that do even use child labour to get the job done cheaply.
