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.

How this outlet filed it, and how we rewrote it

No other newsroom we read has filed on this event, so there is nothing to compare it with yet.

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