A tiny typo unfortunately made a caption on Aussie news exceedingly NSFW

There was one headline that caught everyone's eye on Australian news on Wednesday.
Daniel Webb, the Director of Legal Advocacy at Australia's Human Rights Law Centre, was on ABC News talking about a High Court ruling. He said:
The stroke of a pen is all it would take for our Prime Minister to do the decent thing.
Unfortunately, a space bar malfunction between 'pen' and 'is' has left the caption reading something entirely different:

Webb appeared to talk about a High Court ruling that has re-affirmed the legality of imprisoning refugees, including children, in offshore detention centres.
A group of 267 asylum seekers, including 30 children and 33 babies born in Australia, are now expected to be sent to the island of Nauru.
The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) has condemned the decision, saying it:
has no bearing on Australia’s moral responsibility or its obligations to protect the rights of children in accordance with international human rights law.
Rights groups are now calling on prime minister Malcolm Turnbull to permanently close Australia's offshore detention sites on several Pacific islands.
In Australia there is mandatory detention for anyone without a valid visa, and as of 2013 anyone arriving by boat will not be settled in the country even if they are found to be "valid" refugees, but rather in Papua New Guinea.
There are increasing reports of violence and rape at the country's outsourced island detention centres.
