On or about 2 July 2022, The Manning Community News published an Article concerning the MidCoast Council which made reference to the General Manager of the Council, Mr Adrian Panuccio.

In the article various statements were made which may have been attributed to Mr Panuccio. 

The Manning Community News did not intend to make any false or defamatory statements about Mr Panuccio and, to the extent that it published statements concerning him that are considered false or had no basis in fact, they are withdrawn. 

We apologise to Mr Panuccio for any hurt and embarrassment suffered by reason of the article.
