Wrong impression on foreshore works

I refer to the article "Andrews supports foreshore works", which appears on the front page of the December 12 issue of the Peninsula News.

The heading of my original release was "Government Provides $60,000 for Ettalong Beach Foreshore Redevelopment".

I am concerned that the altered heading printed in your newspaper could very easily give readers the wrong impression of my feelings about redeveloping the foreshores.

My support only extends to improving the foreshores so that they are more visually pleasing and more accessible to the community.

I am adamantly opposed to the commercialisation of the foreshores, which I strongly believe belongs to the people for recreational purposes and environmental protection.
