Headline check

The one thing this headline claims did not turn up in the report.

  • The figure “$810k” is 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. Figures are matched digit for digit, so a report that writes “forty per cent” out in words where the headline wrote “40%” is queried here when it should not be. How this is checked

Canadian miner FQM Australia Nickel has been fined $810,000 for health and safety failures that permanently injured a worker at its Ravensthorpe mine.
