The truncated title 'Electricity Supply Industry Co' is not the same string as the full title and could cause indexing or citation errors.","confidence":0.75,"description":"Every heading in the document is duplicated verbatim (e.g. 'Electricity Supply Industry Co Electricity Supply Industry Concession Amendment Order 2019', 'Status Information Status Information', 'Authorisation Authorisation').
