01 MEDIA LITERACY

How Kangaroo Nation checks a story before publishing

We confirm the original source, check the date and key details, find a second reliable source, and verify that every image shows the correct person, place and event.

02 AUSTRALIAN LIFE

Why cost-of-living stories need more than a headline

Prices, wages, interest rates and government policy affect households differently. Good reporting separates personal examples from national trends and explains the numbers in plain language.

03 CIVICS

Federal, state or local: who is responsible for what?

Knowing which level of government controls a service makes political news easier to judge. National defence and immigration are federal; schools and hospitals are mainly state; many local services belong to councils.

Our newsroom method

Five checks before we publish

  1. 1
    Find the original source

    We open the full report and confirm its date, author, names, numbers and location.

  2. 2
    Confirm the main claim

    Important claims need support from another reliable source or the relevant official body.

  3. 3
    Check the exact wording

    Opinion is attributed as opinion. We do not turn a politician’s claim into a statement of fact.

  4. 4
    Verify the image

    Photos must show the right person, event, place and year. AI illustrations are labelled clearly.

  5. 5
    Add useful context

    Readers deserve to know what is confirmed, what remains uncertain and why the story matters.

Reading the numbers

Context for cost-of-living coverage

A strong cost-of-living story should name the time period, location and source of every number. It should distinguish between a price increase, the rate of inflation and the total cost paid by a household. It should also explain that renters, mortgage holders, retirees and young workers can experience the same economy very differently.

About us

A community-first Australian news page

Kangaroo Nation began as a social page sharing Australian news, politics, sport and community conversation. This website is the next step: a home for original explainers, verified summaries and useful context that readers can find through search.

We are independent and are not affiliated with a political party. Discussion is welcome; abuse, discrimination and deliberately false claims are not.

Editorial policy

Accuracy before speed

We distinguish news from opinion, link to primary or reliable sources when available, correct material errors clearly, and label sponsored material. AI-generated illustrations are never presented as real news photography.
