On 22 September 2007, I published on CairnsBlog.net an article entitled "Mmmmm - Big Kev dines big time."
I wrongly described Councillor Byrne as being a director of a Shanghai company.
In fact, Councillor Byrne was a director (until February 2006) of a Queensland registered company named Beyond Shanghai Pty Ltd.
My article was also factually incorrect in asserting that Councillor Byrne has a travel fund supplemented by funds from Advance Cairns. I accept that this is not the case.
I unreservedly apologise to Councillor Byrne for the hurt and embarrassment which these errors have caused.
