Field notes
The project uses a deliberately adversarial-but-declared reading method: official claims are placed beside trends, context, and a stated verdict rather than treated as self-explanatory figures. Its navigation divides the material into policy areas including housing and migration, energy and climate, budget and debt, tax and superannuation, health, jobs, the states, and the Greens. The homepage also flags that some displayed figures remain indicative pending verification.
