From the report

After more than a decade of work, the 2.5-kilometre corridor from Central Station to the Rocks will be pedestrianised.

This is a summary. The indicators are not. The scores were measured over this summary alone, which is less of the article than we would like and makes them less certain.

Measured on Brisbane Times’s report as filed, which is all we may publish of this one.

How each outlet filed it

Also covered by The Sydney Morning Herald. We hold only their summary of it, not the report, so there is nothing of theirs to measure here.
