Headline check

There is nothing in this headline a machine can check against the report: no figure, no name and no quotation.

Nothing was measured here, so nothing is claimed. How this is checked

This is a summary. The indicators are not. Every score on this page was measured over the full 583-word report, which is the only way the numbers mean anything.

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