Headline check
All two things this headline claims are in the report.
Figures, names and quoted words in the headline, looked for in the report itself — not in the summary above. How this is checked
This is a summary. The indicators are not. Every score on this page was measured over the full 259-word report, which is the only way the numbers mean anything.
How each outlet filed it
Also covered by The West Australian. We hold only their summary of it, not the report, so there is nothing of theirs to measure here.
