Appendix G – Mr Greg Chijoff letter of apology

Graham Jaeschke

State Director

NSW liberal Party

Level 9, 140 William Street

East Sydney NSW 2011

 

22nd November, 2007

 

Dear Mr Jaeschke,

 

I am writing to advise you that I deeply regret the actions taken by a small number of members of the Lindsay campaign team on Tuesday night.

 

It is with deep embarrassment that I advise you that I was involved with the distribution of this flyer which I regret.

 

I confirm that my wife Karen nor you were aware of this offensive pamphlet or were anyway involved in the production and the distribution.

 

Apart from the obvious political and moral stupidity exhibited, I regret these actions even more for personal reasons. My wife was absolutely outraged when she heard about the incident.

 

Karen is a warm and genuine woman who has always been a strong and passionate supporter of all of the different cultures present in ourwonderful country. She would never condone the production of this pamphlet or anything like it.

 

I apologise unreservedly to any member of the community who was offended by or objected to this material. I am saddened to have caused this embarrassment to the Liberal Party, and I have already resignedmy membership.

Yours sincerely,

 

Greg Chijoff
