Public Apology By Ron Goninan

Earlier this year an inaccurate and defamatory statement, about KWA President Walt Missingham, was published on website controlled by Wellington martial arts instructor Ron Goninan.

Following legal intervention Mr. Goninan has removed the statement from the
website and issued the following ‘Public Apology’:

“A recent Article appeared on this website apparently dated 16th April,
2016, and entitled “Oh before I forget”. The article contained statements
which were defamatory of Mr Walter Missingham, and were both inaccurate and
false. I unreservedly apologise for any mis-statement, hurt or
distress caused to Mr Missingham by these false statements.”

Walt Missingham’s costs in this matter have been paid by Mr. Goninan.

It is noted that, on the 17th November 2016, Mr. Goninan announced: “have
recently made a decision to withdraw from Social media and close down all
current Facebook pages.”
