Apology to Mayor Glenn Docherty

I Shaun Reardon, candidate for Mayor of Playford, spoke with journalist Sam Bradbrook about the upcoming local council elections. I told him that there was a motion put to the City of Playford Council “to refer the current mayor (Mr Docherty) to ICAC (Independent Commissioner Against Corruption)”.

This was quoted in the article titled “Reardon announces run for Mayor” published on page 15 of the 1 April 2020 edition of The Bunyip.

This statement is false. There was never any such motion put to the Council.

I unreservedly give this apology to Mayor Glenn Docherty and I am sorry for the hurt and offense caused to Mayor Docherty, and for any damage caused to his personal and professional reputation.

I sincerely regret the inclusion of inaccurate material in the article and offer to Mayor Docherty of the City of Playford my unreserved apology.

Shaun Reardon
