Headline as published: More Australians will be dying than being born in 40 years as major report predicts future of lower growth

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 795-word report, which is the only way the numbers mean anything.
