Apology

The article “Banker accused of sexual harassment” (April 14) concerned the alleged conduct of Michael Blomfield during his employment at the Commonwealth Bank. The Herald accepts that the allegations published about Mr Blomfield are untested and are regarded as false not only by Mr Blomfield but by the bank, which has thoroughly investigated them. The Herald did not intend to suggest the allegations were true and withdraws any such suggestion. The Herald sincerely apologises to Mr Blomfield for any distress and embarrassment caused to him and his family. Link
