Why the ABC needs more funding

For years, it has been blatantly obvious that political campaign finance in Australia is hopelessly corrupt. Today,  the ABC reported on an ongoing investigation by the New South Wales Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) into alleged illegal donations from a Sydney restaurateur family to the New South Wales Labor Party. 


This is an important story, but that isn't what this post is about. Whoever wrote it made a small typographic error. New South Wales is a proper noun, so it must always be capitalised. 

As Australia's national broadcaster, millions of people rely on it as their main source of trustworthy news and information. Pardon the sarcasm, but it seems that they cannot rely on it for error-free articles on their website.
