From the report

Earlier this year, Guardian Australia revealed security failings across Australia’s onshore immigration network since Management and Training Corporation won the $2.3bn detention contract in late 2024.

How loaded the writing isLanguage Load Language Load is one number from 0 to 100 for how loaded a report’s writing is. Lower is plainer. 0 is a plain report, the facts said plainly; 100 is loaded throughout. It reads the writing, not the events, so a plain report of a sad story can still score low. Most reports are written fairly plainly and score under 20; the differences are in the loaded words, the drama and the claims nobody puts their name to.

Headline check

Both 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. One name in this headline is a hyphenated compound whose abbreviation the report spells out in full. The abbreviation is in the report and the compound is not, so that one was not checked either way rather than reported as missing. How this is checked
