Headline check

Neither of the two things this headline claims turned up in the report.

  • “Hotspot” is named in the headline. We could not find it in the report.
  • “Stumped” 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

A summary of The Guardian Australia (Sport)’s report. The score is for the full 865-word report.
