One of Australia's most popular tabloids has blamed a printing error after pages from a rival newspaper appeared in its Thursday edition.
The Sydney-based Daily Telegraph, a right-leaning tabloid owned by Rupert Murdoch, accidentally printed two pages of the liberal Sydney Morning Herald.
The pages include a letter calling for action to tackle climate change.
The Telegraph has apologised for the mistake and said it happened during the production process.
"Both papers share the same printing facility in Sydney's west," it said in a statement posted to Twitter. "We apologise for any confusion this has caused."
The mistake was spotted by a number of readers who were quick to see the funny side.
"No need to apologise," wrote Sydney Morning Herald journalist Kate McClymont. "Having some [Herald] pages is a reader bonus."
"Might have been someone's last day on the job," one Twitter user joked.
"Extreme cost cutting? From sharing printing facilities to now sharing [the] same newspaper," another wrote.
In 2018, the company that owned the Herald, Fairfax, agreed to share printing facilities with News Corp, which owns the Telegraph.
"The printing arrangements make the production of newspapers more efficient for both publishers," Greg Hywood, the former head of Fairfax, said at the time.
Fairfax later merged with another business, Nine, which is the Herald's current owner.

People wait for the Dawn Service ceremony at the Anzac Cove beach, the site of World War I landing of the ANZACs (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) on April 25, 1915, in Gallipoli peninsula, Turkey, early Thursday, April 25, 2019. As dawn broke, families of soldiers, leaders and visitors gathered near former battlefields, honouring thousands of Australians and New Zealanders who fought in the Gallipoli campaign of World War I on the ill-fated British-led invasion. The doomed Allied offensive to secure a naval route from the Mediterranean to Istanbul through the Dardanelles, and take the Ottomans out of the war, resulted in over 130,000 deaths on both sides.(AP Photo/Emrah Gurel)

CANBERRA, Australia – Australia's prime minister on Thursday played down any potential link between the arrest of a suspected Islamic State group member in Turkey and a World War I battle commemoration attended by hundreds of Australians and New Zealanders at the Gallipoli peninsula.
A Syrian national was detained in Tekirdag province before the annual gathering for a dawn service at ANZAC Cove to mark the April 25, 1915, landing of Australian and New Zealand Army Corps troops in an ill-fated campaign to take the Dardanelles Straits, according to media reports.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison said the arrest took place three driving hours from of the Gallipoli service and no changes to security had been made as a result.
"The reports that we are receiving are inconclusive about any link between that arrest and any possible planned event at Gallipoli itself," Morrison told reporters. "In fact, to make that assumption would be, I think, making a very big assumption."
Morrison said Australian Defense Force Chief Gen. Angus Campbell was representing Australia at the service and had nothing but praise for the work of Turkish police and military to provide security.
"I'd simply say this: It's fairly routine for Turkish authorities to arrest people with suspected terrorist links," Morrison said.
Concerns about Australians and New Zealanders' safety at Gallipoli escalated last month when a diplomatic row flared between Turkey and Australia after an Australian was arrested in the killings of 50 worshippers at two mosques in New Zealand on March 15.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan warned Australians and New Zealanders going to Turkey with anti-Muslim views would return home in coffins, like their ancestors who fought at Gallipoli.
Morrison slammed the comments as "highly offensive," but later said tensions had eased after Erdogan's office explained the president's words were "taken out of context."
ANZAC Day services were held throughout Australia and New Zealand on Thursday, with Britain's Prince William laying a wreath in the New Zealand city of Auckland.
The Duke of Cambridge will on Friday visit the mosques in Christchurch where 50 Muslims were killed and another 50 wounded.
A father and son who were volunteer lifesavers have drowned while trying to rescue a tourist swept out to sea off the Australian state of Victoria.
The boat carrying Ross Powell, 71, and his son Andrew, 32, overturned as they tried to reach the man near limestone stacks known as the Twelve Apostles.
The 30-year-old tourist was winched to safety by a rescue helicopter along with a third lifesaver from the boat.
Australian PM Scott Morrison paid tribute to the Powells.
"Surf lifesavers are selfless and brave," he said on Twitter.
"We thank them all for their service and extend our deepest sympathies to Ross and Andrew's family and friends."
The incident has shocked the tourist town of Port Campbell, south-west of Melbourne, where the men were experienced members of the local surf lifesaving club. Floral tributes have been left at the club and flags there are flying at half mast, Australian media reported.
The tourist, who has not been named, was said to have got into difficulties while wading at the mouth of the Sherbrook River.
The lifesaving team set off in their boat but it flipped over in the rough surf, local officials said.
Andrew Powell's partner, Amber Griffiths, described the father and son as "two of the most beautiful people to ever exist - always putting others first".
The rescued lifesaver is in a serious condition in hospital, Australian media reported. The tourist suffered hypothermia and is in a stable condition.
