Get the facts, not the spin, in this compelling new book from the ABC's fact check team. Does halal certification fund terrorism as Pauline Hanson claims? Is there an ice epidemic in Australia? How many election promises has the government broken since taking office? If you're confused about the claims you hear pouring forth from the 24/7 media - those made by politicians, lawyers, public figures and experts of all stripes, you need look no further than this easy to read primer on which claims check out, which ones look a little dubious and which should put you on high alert. Author John Barron takes on everything from the alleged health of the Great Barrier Reef to the debate over the stability of marriage. The truth isn't out there, it's in the pages of this book.
