| Category: Journalism In this article in the Hun, much is made of Geoff Clark's alleged theft of a footy jumper worn by Nicky Winmar. The article seems fairly thorough and presents the facts without being judgemental. However, after over 300 relevant words, the final paragraph is: Former Premier Jeff Kennett came under fire when a portrait of Henry Bolte, owned by the National Gallery of Victoria, was found in his house.Kennett, having been alerted to the fact that the painting belonged to the NGV, returned it and apologised: "I can only say I am obviously sorry for what has occurred, but it was a genuine mistake, and as soon as it was brought to my attention it was returned''. How does this relate to the Geoff Clark case? Same (similar) first name, perhaps? UPDATE: There is some doubt about the authenticity of the jumper. There is no mention of the authenticity of the picture of Sir Henry Bolte. |
