FACT CHECK | BUSHFIRE FACT FILE

CREATED BY DARCIE HUCKS, CHLOE HALES, AARON TAM AND JESSICA ROBSON.

For our artefacts we created fact checks surrounding the Australian Bushfires that occurred in the summer of 2019-2020. The fact checks were on three different issues surrounding the fires. The artefacts include a visual podcast based on the environmental side of the bushfires, in particular claims surrounding if the greens party was to blame for the bushfires starting. Another podcast on the economic side of the bushfires, whether or not funding was cut to the NSW fire department. Finally an infographic timeline looking at the arson claims surrounding the bushfires. These all combine to create one place you can get your information from and gain a more in depth view of some of the fake news surrounding the fires.
