ACCOUNTABILITY
Corrections and change record
Material errors are corrected visibly. We do not silently erase the history of a substantive mistake.
Last updated 30 August 2026
How corrections work
- Correct the affected page promptly after verification.
- State what was wrong and what replaced it when the error was material.
- Preserve the correction with the relevant Watchdesk or suburb record.
- Do not remove a fair response merely because a newer headline has arrived.
Current correction record
- 28 August 2026 — Beckenham local government corrected from City of Canning to City of Gosnells. The suburb shares postcode 6107 with Cannington but not its council.
- 28 August 2026 — Armadale and Camillo separated into distinct suburb records because their postcodes differ: 6112 and 6111.
- 28 August 2026 — REIWA weekly sales figure corrected from 622 to 621 in the earlier beta edition; subsequent verified editions superseded that figure.
Submitting a correction
The public contact inbox is not yet active. The Contact page states this clearly rather than pretending a submission has been received. Once a monitored inbox is connected, correction requests should identify the page, disputed sentence, supporting record and requested amendment.
