An incorrect correction

I like that the media issues a correction when they make a mistake.

I particularly like it when they make an empty apology for getting it wrong, and point the finger at someone else for making them make a mistake.

And I find it particularly funny when there is a mistake in their correction message!

This one is from the Brisbane Times piece about Deputy Premier Paul Lucas (who looks a little like Jamie 'Sloppy Face' Soward from the St George Dragons) announcing that he is retiring and confirming that he does not colour his hair.
