All three 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 421-word report, which is the only way the numbers mean anything.

How this outlet filed it, and how we rewrote it

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.
