Apology

March 16, 2009 – 8:00 am

sundaytimesaustraliaON January 18 The Sunday Times published an article relating to the price differentation between uniforms sold from retailers such as Target compared with uniforms sold by individual schools.
The Sunday Times wishes to clarify that the article was not suggesting that Perm-A-Pleat was charging excessive prices for school uniforms. Perm-A-Pleat does not set the price the uniforms sell for in the shops. This is done by the shops themselves.
The Sunday Times acknowledges that Perm-A-Pleat manufactures its dresses locally and their garments are of a higher quality, indivually designed for schools, providing sizing that retailers do not offer in their limited range. Their polo shirts are made from a fabric exclusive to Perm-A-Pleat with a 40+ sun rating.
The Sunday Times regrets any embarrassment or inconvenience that may have been caused to Perm-A-Pleat as a result of the article.

Apology

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.

Bad for business

A caption in a report headed “War on vandal developers” may have suggested that a bulldozer pictured had knocked down a historic home in Claremont. GMF Contractors Pty Ltd’s truck and bulldozer were pictured. The company wishes to point out that it was engaged after the demolition to clean up and level the block and had nothing to do with the “demolition/flattening” of any residence or building on the site. The Sunday Times regrets if any such suggestion arose from the caption.
