No, the newspaper can't be rescanned (it doesn't need to be) - the footnotes you refer to have been added to the next article on the same page. They have...
A good starting point is to read the text correction guidelines -

Ditto also for the State Library of Victoria if you have their library card.
Found the following in The Perth Gazette and Independent Journal of Politics and News dated 27 Dec 1861 http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article2933607 and 3 Jan 1862...
To correct the tags you will have to first delete them and re-enter the correct tag. There is a small 'x' at the end of each tag. Hover over this and you will be prompted to 'delete tag'
I see you have found 'The Argus' notices about him (such as marriage in 1863 and death in 1885). Have you also realised there are a lot of Country Market articles regarding him in the Ballarat paper...

When you have clicked on the newspaper article that you want to cite you will see at the top of the Electronically Translated Text area (on the left of screen) six blue buttons in a row. The fifth...
Re incomplete corrections –
I agree.
Most of us (I presume) aren't just correcting text for the sake of correcting text and therefore are really only interested in correcting articles that are...

John,
You don't state whether you are aware that David Letham Hamilton died in 1930 (at least I assume this is him?) - http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article61051214

Yes, it is nowhere as good as the marvellous service that we have here - we are very lucky indeed to be able to access Australian Newspapers free of charge.
Have just noticed that this problem is now occurring with all issues of newspapers.
I am noticing that with issues of The Sydney Morning Herald that the webpage title is showing the wrong date to what the newspaper article actually is. The webpage title always reverts back to...
