✕ Headline / Body Mismatch [9/10]: The headline uses the word 'Inhumane' in quotes, attributing it to a source (former worker), which avoids direct endorsement while signaling severity. The phrasing 'subject to allegations' maintains neutrality by not asserting guilt.

"'Inhumane' NDIS home in Broome subject to allegations of neglect"

✕ Headline / Body Mismatch [10/10]: The lead paragraph introduces the location and subject clearly, framing the story around allegations rather than confirmed facts, which is appropriate for journalistic caution.

"On a quiet cul-de-sac in Western Australia's far north, a suburban home has become the subject of allegations of neglect."

✕ Loaded Labels [9/10]: Uses direct quotes with loaded terms like 'inhumane' and 'prison', but attributes them clearly to sources, preserving objectivity.

""Inhumane" is the way former worker Jesse*... described the situation."

✕ Loaded Language [10/10]: Describes conditions factually (e.g., 'windowless back room', 'syringes in her handbag') without embellishment, maintaining a restrained tone despite disturbing content.

"That resident "was found to have syringes in her handbag""

✕ Passive-Voice Agency Obfuscation [10/10]: No use of passive voice to obscure agency; actions are attributed to individuals or policies (e.g., 'Ms Seaman directed locks to be installed').

"had at one point directed locks to be installed on fridges"

✓ Comprehensive Sourcing [10/10]: Multiple former staff members (Jesse, Jude, Alex) are cited with direct quotes and specific allegations, providing diverse corroboration of concerns.

"Former worker Jesse*, speaking on the condition of anonymity, described the situation."

✓ Proper Attribution [9/10]: The owner, Sarifah Seaman, is named and was approached for comment; her non-response is transparently noted, avoiding one-sidedness.

"Ms Seaman did not respond to questions sent by the ABC."

✓ Methodology Disclosure [10/10]: The article includes documentation (invoices, internal reports, complaint letters) and references to official bodies (Child Protection Unit, NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission), enhancing credibility.

"The ABC has seen invoices that show residents were charged $500 a fortnight by Ms Seaman to stay at the house..."

✕ Framing by Emphasis [10/10]: The story focuses on specific, serious allegations (neglect, child safety, medication failures) rather than reducing the issue to a political or moral battle, allowing the facts to drive the narrative.

"Former staff are speaking out, alleging a lack of organisation by the owner saw residents packed into rooms, not given their medication, and a child had lived in the premises with a drug user."

✕ Episodic Framing [10/10]: Avoids conflict framing between political actors or advocacy groups; instead centers on systemic and operational failures within a single facility.
