You had just one job...

And the sad thing is, there are at least 6 I have seen the same here around Canberra. Government printed. Says a LOT about the ACT Government (Mike should know )



"She'll be roit mate".

Yes, it sure is "testiing" my restraint from getting a can of yellow paint...

You would Hough, but sadly there are more. Teletype misheard what the Chief minister said when he said Canberrans, and it typed out Ken Behrens instead.

So, we call each other Ken Behrens or just Ken (I've heard there is Karen Behrens too) now. It's even on traffic signs etc. Kind of makes life a little less morose.
