Apology

August 12, 2008 – 8:00 am

AN ARTICLE published on July 20 stated that Chris Evert admitted in an interview to having an affair with Greg Norman while both were married to their previous partners, and the affair caused the demise of their marriages.
That article was incorrect because Ms Evert did not make that admission.
The Sunday Mail apologises to Ms Evert and Mr Norman for the error.

This was also published in Australia’s Sunday Herald Sun and Sunday Times.

“Get Your Act Together” indeed

April 15, 2008 – 4:04 pm

LAST week’s article on tax, Get Your Act Together by Mike Hanley, contained some inaccuracies.
A tax return is usually between 17 and 48 pages, not up to 180 pages as stated.
The Medicare rebate provides a 20 per cent refund of out of pocket medical expenses over $1500.
The article stated that the Medicare levy is calculated on taxable income above $6000. This was incorrect.
The Medicare levy is calculated on the entire taxable income, unless you earn less than $16,284, in which case the levy is waived.

The headline attached to the article indicated Ms Buckley was in favour of adopting some aspects of Islamic Sharia law in Australia. The Sunday Herald Sun wishes to affirm that Ms Buckley is not in favour of the adoption of Sharia law.
