There is mild moderation. Normal rules of blogger etiquette and courtesy to blog hosts will apply.with serious transgressors being thrown out.
Unfortunately our system does not allow your comments to show up in the blog post itself. Just in the comments section.
Visitors might consider the wisdom of using moderate language.

I have worked out how it is that Kindy Cindy has no need to Lie in Politics.
Adopt an all new definition of Lie, Lies and Lying, no problems.
Same for “Open and Transparent”, a clear need to update the system.
Pretty confronting for Red Dan in the Peoples Republic of Victoria, those pesky emails from the Federals claiming his understanding that there were no offers of ADF assistance for Quarantine management was a teeny bit different in their view.
Never hold an inquiry you don’t have the the final outcome clearly defined in advance still the main game eh.
Likely a key reason for Ardern’s success as a communicator, besides her ability to transmit empathy, is that she keeps the details, concepts and vocabulary to the level a 12 year old can understand. Is the same “sweet spot” at which the Jehovah’s Witnesses aim, for example. And who incidentally have the discipline and control of absolute uniformity of weekly communication worldwide, irrespective of native language and location.
And I see Laura Ingram, yet another former journalist like Kris Faafoi, is Labour candidate. Denis Welch ran about 20 years ago for the Alliance.
Mind you, Jenny Marcroft if NZ First, Tuku Morgan also previously of NZ First and Maggie Barry who is retiring as a National MP this election are all former journalists. As too was the first Liberal Premier from 1891 to 1893, John Ballance I think.
Sort of gamekeepers turned poachers! And the pay is better as a politician, even if, until the MSM began to die, the employment in politics is likely less secure. Marcroft, for instance, like Morgan before her, is almost certainly going to be a one-term MP
