Just publish a statement correcting the record. People are allowed to make mistakes, and it's stupid that we have this thing where someone says something incorrect and that it, loses their job.

That isn't to say that the Qantas and Optus CEOs should've kept their positions - they both fronted up to senate committees after pretty big public failures of process. They probably deserved to fall on their swords.

This is a completely different situation to those companies. This isn't a consumer product it's human rights. This is a government agency tasked with safeguarding human rights.
