Tasmanian Country last week on Page 1 incorrectly gave Graeme and Elizabeth Hudson, of Geeveston, the surname Sullivan and mistakenly referred to Mrs Hudson as Lizzy, a name which, Tasmanian Country now understands, she is not known by.
The report also wrongly implied the couple might “forget to feed the cattle” and incorrectly quoted Mrs Hudson as saying she was “a bit over carting” in reference to the livestock carrying business the Hudsons jointly own and operate.
Tasmanian Country regrets the errors and apologises to the Hudsons for any hurt or embarrassment caused.

IN an article on page 7 of Tasmanian Country published on May 29 2009 this newspaper published an allegation that Mr Chris Oldfield, the Chief Executive Officer of the Tasmanian Farmers and Graziers Association, had a conflict of interest over managed investment schemes.
That article included the words that it “had been implied in media reports that as Mr Oldfield’s media company did work for timber company Forest Enterprises Australia it may have also encouraged TFGA members to invest in Great Southern which specialised in tree farming”.
In fact, no such implication has ever been raised in the media. We were wrong to have suggested that it had.
The publisher and editor of Tasmanian Country unreservedly apologise to Mr Oldfield for the publication of the allegation and for any hurt and embarrassment that it has caused him, his family and colleagues.
