The Bugle has been overwhelmed by the positive feedback we’ve received since creating the Blow Your Bugle column, which gives residents of the Kiama LGA the opportunity to share their thoughts on the issues that directly affect us all.

We decided to allow anonymous comments for those that want to share their opinion without receiving prejudice. The Bugle has independently verified the identities of those that submit anonymous comments before publishing to ensure they come from residents of the LGA. 

However, we understand that just because The Bugle has verified this information, readers can’t be assured that these comments came from a genuine source within the community. For that reason, The Bugle will no longer publish comments from anonymous authors.

If you would like your comments published in the Blow Your Bugle column, you will need to provide your name and the suburb you live in.

We will, of course, continue to accept anonymous comments, and may use them in the course of our regular reporting. 

Thank you readers for your ongoing support. Happy commenting!
