Telephone Affair

Why is the reference to the Telephone affair being removed after replacement? There is nothing libelous about it; it is documented; it is factual. The original sentence was simple, clear, neutral, and referenced. Later replacements were not quite so neutral, but their removal should have been discussed here.

I note that in all cases the edits were made by an unnamed editor. Is this one of the self-serving edits made Australian Government employees?

I am going to re-insert the original wording. —Preceding unsigned comment added by HKL47 (talk • contribs) 02:20, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
