Nine’s publishing boss Chris Janz has emphatically said the media company’s “mistake” of hosting a Liberal Party fundraiser at its Willoughby offices “won’t happen again”.

Janz was asked by Mumbrella if he thought the $10,000 a head, Hugh Marks-hosted, Nine-catered fundraising dinner was a mistake before Marks admitted as much publicly.

“Honestly, there was near immediate acknowledgement internally that it was a mistake and you won’t see that happening again with the Nine group,” the company’s managing director of publishing responded, speaking on a panel at last week’s Mumbrella Publish conference.

If they won’t be hosting a Liberal Party fundraiser at its Willoughby offices … does that mean they will host it at their new North Sydney skyscraper offices instead?
