Clarification: WA’s Supreme Court reached out to us this week to point out that Environment minister Reece Whitby had incorrectly pointed the finger at the State Administrative Tribunal for overturning conditions on Garde Hotel, the subject of our story on its noise spat with live music venue Freo.Social (“Fears for live music in hotel spat,” Herald, February 22). The court said the decision was overturned by the relevant Development Assessment Panel “after it had been invited by the Tribunal to do so” – which we pointed out sounded a little Orwellian in its overtones.

In a more straight-out correction, we incorrectly attributed a quote to Bayswater mayor Filomena Piffaretti in our recent yarn about International Women’s Day events, having mistaken someone else’s quote. Our apologies for that mistake.
