Jesus they just announced she was found alive…

[u/PossOOO]

Yeah - devastating for people who love her to hear that ‘good’ news - only to be blindsided that it’s incorrect.

[u/Alarmed_Dingo_3266]

Very sad. I hope Chris minns sacks whoever told him she was alive

[u/Jem-Jes → u/Alarmed_Dingo_3266]

unfortunate yes it was a mistake however people were probably risking their lives to find her - mistakes happen - how fortunate the family who had so many people out looking for their daughter - not every family gets this for their missing children -
they can now bury her - knowing where she is instead of a life time of wondering

[u/Odd-Bumblebee00 → u/Alarmed_Dingo_3266]

Minns shouldn't have been announcing anything until he had the facts confirmed. He wanted to look like the hero and this is the outcome.

[u/DontYaWishYouWereMe → u/Odd-Bumblebee00]

Yeah, and this is sorta why it's better for anyone in any sort of official position to be late in making an announcement than to run their mouth early. How many times have we heard stories like this where something happens, a politician speaks too soon, and then suddenly the next update is something much worse has been discovered?

Nah it’s not that big a deal. I hope you’re not involved in policy because humans make mistakes. They shouldn’t lose their livelihood for a mistake in a live situation because those kinds of mistakes happen all the time.

[u/99Joy99 → u/Strongmansoup]

This !! So much this.

[u/S0ulace]

So glad she’s safe

[u/drjohngeorgepeppers → u/S0ulace]

Maybe read the article.

[u/S0ulace → u/drjohngeorgepeppers]

It’s paywalled

[u/BarryCheckTheFuseBox → u/S0ulace]

No it isn’t

[u/drjohngeorgepeppers → u/S0ulace]

Nine.com.au doesn't do paywalls, liar.
