Can anybody tell me why Stuff censored my comment?
I gave a comment on this article:
www.stuff.co.nz...
I wrote:
"So food prices increased by 12.5%? You wish. What the economists and the government completely fail to see (or see and pretend not to) is that food inflation hits different groups very differently. If you are rich then increasing the price for Musli bars from $5 to $5.50 might be an increase of 10%, but if you are not and dependent on specials like 2 for $5 then the „price freeze“ that locked in full prices and elegantly got rid of real specials meant an increase from $2.50 to $5.50 which is an increase of 120%! No wonder there is a Cost of Living Crisis in NZ! Unless you are rich. Time for a tax-free band in the tax system - every decent society recognises that you should not tax basic income."
I don't see what is so offensive in my comment that it was censored …

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
