Subscriber-only comments on the site are moderated before publication to promote safe, civil and respectful debate.

By submitting your comment, you agree to our House Rules, which is at the discretion of the moderator.

Comments that feature any of the following will not be published:

• Comments that are insulting, discriminatory or break the law.
• Comments that are inflammatory or do not positively advance debate.
• Comments that are off-topic.
• Comments in capital letters, or mostly in capital letters, or with bold font.
• Comments that use derogatory or misogynistic nicknames.
• Comments that contain swear words, profanities or threatening language.

We also reserve the right to reject publication of any comment. Additionally, we reserve the right to withdraw your comment from a discussion at any point.

We encourage thoughtful, insightful debate – the best comments bring fresh ideas and perspectives. Humour is good. Be concise.

At busy times, there may be delays in posting comments. Our moderators work across a range of stories, so comments are not necessarily published in the order they are received. Comments will be closed once the debate wanes, or it moves off-topic. Comments will not be open on all stories.

And, remember this is a public space. What you say can be viewed by others – be safe and don’t post personal details about yourself or others.

Comments that put you or others in danger will be passed on to authorities. Users who submit illegal material or hate speech may have their details reported to authorities. You consent to our disclosing your personal information for this purpose.

Commenters must do so under their real names – no nicknames will be accepted. This is to encourage authentic, on-topic debate.
