The Editor doesn’t moderate this blog, 3 volunteers do, they are very lenient to provide you a free speech space but if it’s just deranged abuse or putting words in bloggers mouths to have a pointless argument, we don’t bother publishing.
All in all, TDB gives punters a very, very, very wide space to comment in but we won’t bother with out right lies or gleeful malice. We leave that to the Herald comment section.
EDITORS NOTE: – By the way, here’s a list of shit that will get your comment dumped. Sexist abuse, homophobic abuse, racist abuse, anti-muslim abuse, transphobic abuse, Chemtrails, 9/11 truthers, Qanon lunacy, climate deniers, anti-fluoride fanatics, anti-vaxxer lunatics, 5G conspiracy theories, the virus is a bioweapon, some weird bullshit about the UN taking over the world and ANYONE that links to fucking infowar.
Another first for Whanganui
In 1936, Whanganui was the first city in New Zealand to hold a dawn service,
Now Whanganui is the first to opt for a later start.
Whanganui Returned and Services Association (RSA) welfare trust president Robert Allen said the dawn service had been moved to a 7am start because veterans were getting older.
“That 6am start meant people were having to get up at 4am and it was very cold – last year was bitterly cold,” Allen said.

Good on ya, Whanganui.
In the internet age haven’t been able to chase down Mark Staufer’s contact details or what great Hager is up to these days.
Staufer is the courageous author of the Dilworth docudrama.
Hager deserves every jot of a rest, but that’s not how he is, more me.
