Glad to see you doing an expose on Vandervis - the more people who know his true nature the better, and I hope for Dunedins sake he is never re-elected to Council.
Unfortunately many people seem to think he’s a ‘bit of fun’ and harmless - how else can his high polling be explained.
He is neither fun nor harmless as you’ve recently discovered - he is an obstructive bigoted menace.
Hi, I was unaware of this story until reading just now. Good on you for standing up for ethical journalism and shining light on a journalist being unfairly abused.
The material that Mr Vandervis is supplying is a journalist's dream. Ian Fleming would have been so jealous and he really was a fiction-writing creep. I'm always pleased to see another post from The Mish in my box, even though I'm a staunchly provincial Taranaki-ite.

Well done Hamish for laying out the facts. I will not cast my vote for this guy. He has no place governing in my city.
Oh wow, that was all said from a council email account? One wonders what he sends from a private one 🤔
Vdv is a very strange and angry man. Thank you for another fantastic read, if you are a fiction-writing creep then thank you for the words.
Stop picking on Barry Manilow. Some cracker lyrics like these: Oh, Vandy, Well, you came
And you parked without paying (allegedly), and they asked you to pay, Oh, Vandy
Talking about fiction writing, that would be the Company Registry data for Stuff Limited right?
Sold by Fairfax to Sinead. Meantime Fairfax picks up the NZH. Result they bypass the problems of a few years ago of one owner for both media.
Who is the Chris he refers to-Chris Staynes?
