Amidst the fascinating news breaking about the wreck of the HMAS Sydney finally being found, this wonderful opening vignette from an AAP story, reproduced mindlessly by The Age:

There are a lot of derogatory yet fair things that people can say about bloggers, but I think there would probably be very few out there who comment on politics and are capable of getting the name of the Australian Prime Minister wrong. By and large I think it’s fair to say that if someone is getting paid to do a job, you expect more than a kindergarten level of quality control.
