Community leaders, Mr and Mrs T and C Yumbulul both died late last month. Mr Yumbulul was an Arnhem Land clan leader and world-renowned artist.

Headline check

Neither of the two things this headline claims is in the report.

  • The headline puts “A real love story” in quotation marks. Nobody says those words anywhere in the report.
  • “Yol” is named in the headline. We could not find it in the report.

Figures, names and quoted words in the headline, looked for in the report itself — not in the summary above. Names are matched as they are spelled, so a report that says “New South Wales” where the headline says “NSW” is queried here when it should not be. How this is checked
