Prime Minister John Key stands by his decision to reveal that one of the SAS soldiers in a controversial photograph this week was Victoria Cross winner Corporal Willie Apiata.

Wat a great whimp-out the Government's decision on wether Whanganui should be spelt with an H has been.

Observing the proper spelling of a language is the right thing to do.

Wanganui can be spelled with or without an 'h', the Government ruled today.

Wanganui is to be given its "h" back in a compromise under which Govt agencies will have to follow the new spelling but others will have a choice.

A man is due to appear in court today charged with the murder of Wanganui toddler Karl Perigo-Check.
