 This is the first time I have seen "government" used as a gerund ...

"The caretaker Gillard government is expected to shortly announce the appointment of John Howard's former chief of staff Arthur Sinodinos as another adviser to they independent MPs who will decide who *governments* in a hung parliament."

(... also an interesting use of the word "they", but we see plenty of smaller typos in the press).
