Oh dear. There are typos and there are typos.
Not sure what was on the minds of Nine News Brisbane when this super came up.
I suspect it’s news to the Brisbane police force that they now have a “Homocide Detective” unit.
A most unfortunate typo given the story is no laughing matter.

To be fair, I didn’t even know what the typo was for a minute there.
Time for another Media Watch segment!
Ooops Packer – and yes thats what I am hinting at, the standards would be better
a reversed ie/ei or even ‘fued’ is slighly understandable, the error isn’t glaringly obvious. but how does homocide make it to air?
For the most part, I see these typos as little more that confirmation of deteriorating journalist/reporter standards in our media.
When was the last time you heard an intelligent/probing/thoughtful question put to a politician at a door stop… and a follow up question bringing the polly back to the original question when they shot off on a tangent.
How many times have you heard a reporter ask “what have you got to say to your victims” as they chase the villain down a street… and then the look of amazement on the reporter’s face when the “evil bas-tard’ doesn’t reply.
There are some who still seem to do a capable job… honorable mentions should go to the ABC’s 7:30 team and to 4 Corners. The rest sound like seagulls… me me me me mine mine mine.
These continue to happen. One wonders sometimes who is in the editing room at Channel 9.
Quite pathetic.
@DansDans – It was “Packer”, and it would be in far better shape, in every respect, than it is now.
Lol! Gee nine are on a roll
One wonders the state Ch 9 would be in now if Mr Parker was still alive
