Courier Mail takes readers down memory lane
The poor old AFR took a helluva kicking with its “world is fukt” headline misfortune last month.
Today’s turn to demonstrate the permanence of print is the Courier Mail in Brisbane which published several pages of yesterday’s edition in today’s paper, as tweeted by The ABC’s Mark Willacy:

One tipster tells Dr Mumbo 36 of the 64 pages of then paper were yesterdays and that 13,000 copies escaped into the wild. At the time of posting Dr Mumbo hasn’t been able to confirm that with News Corp.
In the meantime, the Courier Mail tells its readers: “A small number of corrupted copies circulated today contain pages from yesterday’s edition. The issue impacts a number of news and business pages including stocks and the law list.”
