Rental payment platform DEFT ditches card payments amid Albanese government’s surcharge changes

Summary

Renters are being urged to check how they are paying their rent after a payment platform ended credit and debit card transactions.

Headline check

One of the two things this headline claims did not turn up in the report.

  • “Albanese” is named 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. Names are matched as they are spelled, so a report that says “New South Wales” where the headline says “NSW” is queried here when it should not be. How this is checked
