The Australian newspaper, on page 2 of today’s edition, includes an article by Patricia Karvelas and Dennis Shanahan. In that article I was quoted as saying:

They may have to look at capping places so that we have a balanced set of providers out there, both independent and community, and we don’t have a dominance of one group.

I did not provide any comment to Ms Karvelas or Mr Shanahan on this matter and did not make the comment attributed to me, so my office has contacted Ms Karvelas, pointing out this error and requesting that it be corrected. I understand that the Australian has undertaken to make this correction.
