This post is open to anyone to comment on any topic that isn’t spam, illegal or offensive. All Your NZ posts are open but this one is for you to raise topics that interest you, or you think may interest others..
If providing opinions on or summaries of other information also provide a link to that information. Bloggers are welcome to summarise and link to their posts. Comments worth more exposure may be repeated as posts. Comments from other forums can be repeated here, cut and paste is fine.
Your NZ is a mostly political and social issues blog but not limited to that, and views from anywhere on the political spectrum are welcome. Some ground rules:
- If possible support arguments, news, points or opinions with links to sources and facts.
- Please don’t post anything illegal, potentially defamatory or abusive.
FIRST TIME COMMENTERS: Due to abuse by a few, first comments under any ID will park in moderation until released (as soon as possible but it can sometimes take a while).
Sometimes comments will go into moderation or spam automatically due to mistyped ID, too many links (>4), or trigger text or other at risk criteria. If they pass muster they will be released as soon as possible (it can sometimes take hours).

/ 12th June 2019I was unpleasantly surprised to find that a large jar of peanut butter (not made in China !) had mouse poo in it….the birds didn’t mind these additives when the jar was put out for them.

Sneaky bastards. Almost as bad as Chinese Gooseberries grown in NZ and sold as Kiwifruit.
