This page explains how Australia Local News, published by AU Local News, sources, checks and corrects its stories.
Sourcing
Our stories are based on reports from established news outlets, official statements, police and court information, and other primary sources. We name the original source in each story and link to it where we can.
Allegations and legal matters
Where a story involves allegations, we attribute them to the person making them and make clear when they are untested. Where the other party’s response has been reported, we include it.
