The Guardian has issued corrections to two previously published articles. The obituary for actor Sheila Ballantine, which appeared on 25 August (Journal, p10), incorrectly stated her birth year and age at death. Ballantine was born in 1929, not 1928, and died at the age of 96, not 98 as the obituary said.
Kew Gardens Palm House Clarification
An article about saving 'London's rainforest' (27 August, p11) stated that Kew Gardens' Palm House would be open throughout its renovation project. In fact, the Palm House will remain open while preparations are under way, but will shut when works start in full.
Other Recently Amended Articles
Other recently amended articles include a review of Love Cheats, which noted that one romance scam is so hideous that a woman takes it to parliament. Also amended were the Reading and Leeds festival review, which highlighted how dominant dance music now is in a post-GCSE blowout, and an article about Pauline Hanson calling for two nuclear plants on the east coast, insisting the policy is nothing like Dutton's failed plan.
Additionally, a piece about Gen Z 'Chinamaxxers' fantasising about life in China was amended, noting that this journalist and this artist can never go back there.
