Apology to Geoffrey Thomas and Justice David Thomas

Last week Crikey referred to articles published by The Australian concerning a donation made to the Liberal Party by Geoffrey Thomas, and the announcement of the appointment of his brother, Justice David Thomas, to the Federal Court of Australia and the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT).

The Australian has now apologised, and Crikey likewise wishes to do so. Crikey did not intend to suggest that there was any connection between the donation and those appointments.

Nor did Crikey intend to suggest there was any connection between press reports on the donation and Justice Thomas’s resignation from the AAT. Crikey apologises to Geoffrey Thomas and Justice David Thomas for the hurt and harm caused.
