Headline check
The one thing this headline claims is in the report.
Figures, names and quoted words in the headline, looked for in the report itself — not in the summary above. One claim in this headline could be checked, so this is a narrow pass and not a thorough one. How this is checked
This is a summary. The indicators are not. Every score on this page was measured over the full 494-word report, which is the only way the numbers mean anything.
How each outlet filed it
Also covered by WAtoday, The Age, The West Australian, The Sydney Morning Herald. We hold only their summary of it, not the report, so there is nothing of theirs to measure here.
