QPQ: None required.

Overall: @JML1148: Good article. But, I don't see anywhere in the source or in the article that the breach effected over a third of all Australians. Onegreatjoke (talk) 02:49, 19 June 2023 (UTC)

@Onegreatjoke: The hook is definitely mentioned in both the article and the source. The first sentence in the lede states "...suffered a data breach, affecting up to 9.7 million current and former customers, over a third of Australia's population." The source, also in the first line, states "- about 40% of the population -". Could you please review your comment? JML1148 (talk | contribs) 07:07, 19 June 2023 (UTC)
Guess I just couldn't find it. Onegreatjoke (talk) 18:24, 19 June 2023 (UTC)
@Onegreatjoke: Thanks for passing it. I think you need to follow the steps at Template talk:Did you know#How to promote an accepted hook to – properly pass it. JML1148 (talk | contribs) 06:51, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
