Stuff-ups
One error is careless. But two Stuff-ups in their Daily Trivia Quiz is getting very, very careless. And we were going along really well too:
Here, via history.net.nz is the correct answer:
Of course David Lange succeeded Sir Robert Muldoon after the infamous "Schnapps" election in 1984. And who could ever forget this moment?
This is another fail from Fairfax. We know that Fairfax journalists in Australia are on strike, but we didn't realise that extended to this side of the Tasman. In the case of Stuff's Daily Trivia Quiz, that is in fact strike two; a success rate of Trevor Mallard proportions!
