Format 01
Curious fact check
A surprising Australian claim tested against a measurement, archive, collection or original record.
Social publishing system
A complete idea in the post. The full trail in the article.
Every article package includes its own reviewed headline image, visual direction, native caption, alt text and factual boundary. Instagram and Facebook accounts remain owner controlled and separate from Curiosity Desk.
Format 02
The fuller story
A familiar explanation rebuilt with the missing dates, decisions, people and evidence.
Format 03
How Australia works
A law, institution or public system explained without recruiting the reader into a party.
Moderation rule
Disagreement is welcome. Dehumanisation is not.
Criticism of a policy or institution is welcome when it addresses the issue. Threats, slurs, doxxing, racial blame and celebration of harm are removed consistently.
Success metric
Understanding over outrage
Saves, completion, source use, thoughtful discussion and corrections matter more than angry comment volume.
