Press Council upholds complaint against misreporting

Sunday Telegraph

The Sunday Telegraph had wrongly reported that Jamie, as a Leichhardt councillor, had supported legal action against The Annandale Hotel.

The Press Council considers the error to be "indisputable and serious". The publication should have acknowledged the error in its own name, not merely offered an opportunity for Mr Parker to write an article or letter asserting his own view.

It also should have ensured that the correction was appropriately prompt and prominent. Accordingly, the complaint was also upheld on these grounds.

FERRIES AT ANNANDALE AND WEST BALMAIN

Imagine hopping on a ferry at Annandale or West Balmain and being in the heart of the city within minutes.

In 2020, we won the campaign for a Glebe ferry. Now, we have the opportunity to connect more of our area to the ferry network. New ferries at Annandale and West Balmain will provide a faster, smarter route into the city without adding to the traffic on our roads.

Both Labor and the Liberals want to build more polluting and destructive tollways across Sydney. But we have costed a comprehensive plan for a world-class public transport system that makes getting around our city fast and easy.

Dear Transport Minister,

New inner west ferry services would provide efficient, fast and environmentally sound travel to and from the area for workers, tourists, students, pensioners and the general public.

I therefore ask that the Government build on the success of the Blackwattle Bay ferry and establish a ferry service at Rozelle Bay for the Annandale area and reinstate the ferry at West Balmain.
