news.com.au (minus the news)
It’s really not News Ltd’s day.
After incorrectly announcing Joe Hockey as the new Liberal leader, all the lead news stories have, at the time of writing, gone missing from the news.com.au home page.
12.40 update: And… they’re back.
All the news that’s fit to print?
News.com.au: Murdoch’s money mint.
It’s there – you just need to pay Murdoch $5 cash in hand to view it now…
I’d prefer no headline news to the picture of Tony Abott without a shirt on that is currently appearing
If you think that’s bad, have a look at google news (Australian) – full of pre-spill news.com.au articles, most of them from last night.
At least at news.com.au, MT can still say “I am the leader”
After many months of planning today we migrated news.com.au to a news CMS — inevitably there were some glitches along the way for which we apologise. No excuses, but those of you who have ever moved a large site to a new CMS — and news.com.au has more than 100m PIs a month — will appreciate the challenges involved in this process.
Thanks the background, David… and brave of you to do it on a weekday!
Cheers,

“brave of you to do it on a weekday” Nice way of saying – “normally companies do this sort of thing in the middle of the night on a weekend, which clever dick planned to do it yesterday” LOL
James … looking at the page Tim has inserted … Tony Abbott looks more like Susan Boyle every day! The only difference is that Susan gets out more.
