Michelle/Jack: I think we should run a correction on this. We had earlier quoted Bill Wood as “”a senior Labor source” saying the party was silly choosing between Vitab Sue and Whiteboard Sally for the Canberra by-election (Bachelard story). The story also said Standen was a former Kelly staffer. Standen unfortunately let that pass uncorrected. Alas I reasonably, but wrongly, concluded that she was in Kelly’s office at the time.
Sally Standen worked for Ros Kelly from December 1988 and March 1992 and had no part in the Sports Rorts Affair as suggested in an article in News Review yesterday (saty).
