Outlets edit stories after they go out, usually without saying so. We keep what we saw the first time.

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 WAtoday, Brisbane Times. We hold only their summary of it, not the report, so there is nothing of theirs to measure here.
