takes x-rays ... a radiologist interprets them afterwards

Raft has become a popular way to describe a big collection of things, like 'a raft of awards', but it has a subtly ironic tone. Therefore '...following a raft of attacks on Indian students' was a questionable choice of words. Maybe better to pick a more neutral term, like 'number of'.

'a raft of awards' is overused ... use many instead

not randomised control trial

but wrap a parcel

means completely demolish, so 'razed to the ground' is a tautology

we re-form the queue or the band, but reform the outdated policy

reap a reward, or benefit, but wreak havoc or destruction

In 'the reason I'm so cold is because the heating's broken' because is redundant. It should be 'the reason I'm so cold is that the heating's broken.'

In 'the reason why we like mussels is a mystery', why is redundant. It should be 'The reason we like mussels is a mystery.'

not with

needs caps when used as the nickname referring exclusively to Mars

it reeks of corruption, but wreaks havoc

means royal insignia, so 'royal regalia' is a tautology

irrespective of, not taking into account ... not irregardless—there's no such word.

rein in corporate big spenders or horses ... but reigning monarchs

November 11 in Australia. And not 'rememberence'.

write a report on something, not into. The report often follows an inquiry into or an investigation of something, the results of which are reported on.

In reported speech: It led many to ask what Joe Hockey was hiding from. No question mark. But in direct speech: It led many to ask, 'What is Joe Hockey hiding from?' the question mark is needed.

Never turn the gist of what someone says into a direct quote. If you're not 100% sure of the words they used, then use reported speech like this: The SA resources minister said that he respectfully disagreed with the federal minister. 

one word

no 'n'

summary, CV (French word normally written with its acute accents to distinguish it from the English word resume)

retaliate against an action, not for.

A listener pointed out that reticent (defined by the Macquarie dictionary as 'disposed to be silent, not inclined to speak freely; reserved) is sometimes used where reluctant ('unwilling, disinclined') is called for. So 'When asked for his source he was reticent' is correct, but 'He was reticent to divulge his source' is not. We should say 'He was reluctant to divulge his source.'

means go back, so never 'revert back'

conduct a review of something

theatrical entertainment ... review is the criticism of it

'Today's Jewel in the Crown, is a work in fibreglass by Peter Corlett...' This is an example of rhetorical punctuation. The comma has been put where one might pause for emphasis when reading aloud. But grammatically it doesn't make sense, because we don't put a single comma between a subject and its verb. For online publication we need to make sense grammatically, so we write: 'Today's Jewel in the Crown is a work in fibreglass by Peter Corlett.'

a rift is usually healed, not reconciled. People are reconciled, and the act of reconciliation may heal a rift.

of a political party

not to be confused with right of way

three words, or rock'n'roll, three words contracted to one

cliche: 'emotional roller-coaster' etc, and beware the mixed metaphor. There's only one thing you can do with a roller-coaster, emotional or otherwise, and that's ride it. You can't battle through it or be battered by it.

trademark, so capitalise

Joseph P Kennedy 111 means there have been 110 Joseph P Kennedys before this one. What the writer meant was Joseph P Kennedy III, the Roman numeral traditionally used to mean 'the third'. Use upper-case i, not numeral 1. 
I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X...

capitalise only when citing the full title of a particular royal commission. For the federal government's royal commission to examine institutional child sexual abuse, the official title is Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sex Abuse. The chief commissioner is Peter McClellan AM.
