Hidden on page 51 of the Sydney Morning Herald on Saturday was the
following:

"In the Herald's Marketing pages on Thursday, a story on Mr Don Chipp's
election campaign for the Melbourne City Council named his running
partner as Ms Leaky Warbling. [she is actually] Melbourne businesswoman
Mr Rilka Warbanoff. The mistake was caused by a spell-checking error." 

Submitted for the information of those who do not normally get to see
that part of the Sydney Morning Herald.
