Headline check

One of the three things this headline claims did not turn up in the report.

  • “Aussies” 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

This is a summary. The indicators are not. Every score on this page was measured over the full 730-word report, which is the only way the numbers mean anything.
