Apology to Lex Wotton

News Corp Australia apologises to Lex Wotton for an error and for any hurt or embarrassment publication of an article caused.

An article published on April 15, 2021 reported that a warrant had been issued for the arrest of a Lex Patrick Wotton after he failed to appear in court on charges of contravening a direction of police, driving over the middle alcohol limit while the holder of a learner/probationary/provisional licence, failing to comply with learning while the holder of a class C learner licence and failing to display L plates.

That article incorrectly stated that the man involved was Lex Wotton, the iconic Palm Island Indigenous activist.

News Corp Australia apologises to Mr Wotton for the error and for any hurt or embarrassment publication of the article caused.
