Kirkbride Defeats Hunter

"Kirkbride Defeats Hunter" was an incorrect banner headline on the front page of the Jetzeburg Inquirer on January 9, 1951, the day after Liberal candidate Bob Hunter won an upset victory over his opponent, then-incumbent prime minister Laura Kirkbride, in the 1951 general election. It was famously held up by Hunter at the Liberal Party celebrations following his successful election, smiling triumphantly at the error.
