An online story published on 19 March 2026 reported on whether WorkSafe was investigating the City of Perth (WorkSafe Commissioner ‘not aware’ of investigation into City of Perth CEO and administration).

We wrongly asserted that Deputy Lord Mayor David Goncalves had falsely claimed he lodged a WorkSafe claim against the city CEO and administration at the city’s February council meeting.

We withdraw any suggestion that Deputy Lord Mayor Goncalves misled or lied to council, and sincerely apologise to him for any harm or damage our inaccurate may have caused him.
