Personal Explanation

Gould, Mrs E.

The Hon. F. PANGALLO (15:22): I seek leave to make a personal explanation over a question I asked on aged care on 28 April.

Leave granted.

The Hon. F. PANGALLO: It related to the 100th birthday celebration of a resident at the Resthaven facility under COVID-19 restrictions imposed by the management. In my opinion they went beyond those issued by the State Coordinator. However, I referred to the resident as Mrs Elizabeth Goulding, which was how I believed I heard it pronounced on radio a short time before. I had checked with the station on her name; however, they mistakenly sent me the incorrect pronunciation and spelling. Her name is Mrs Elizabeth Gould, and I would like the record corrected. When the mistake was pointed out to me, I immediately sent Mrs Gould a letter of apology, along with flowers acknowledging her wonderful milestone.
