I have removed the following paragraph from the article:

• The original newspaper article is unreliable and speculative:
  • the Tele is not exactly Australia's newspaper of record;
  • the newspaper article lacks a byline.
• The newspaper article insinuates that Ward & Brown have improperly profited from an AFC grant, but presents no evidence or facts to support that speculation (did the funded film make enough money to trigger repayment?).
• The paragraph in the Wikipedia article is a copyright infingement. Apart from the first two disjointed sentences, it is almost a verbatim copy:

I have done the same at the article for Rachel Ward. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 10:40, 6 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There is no problem with the source here - the Daily Telegraph, while not my favourite paper, is considered a reliable source for Wikipedia standards. Whether or not the article has a byline has never had any bearing on its acceptability, as long as the article is published in a reliable source.

This said, the text as written needs to go for copyright violation, so... Rebecca (talk) 12:15, 6 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

He is one of the few Australian actors who regularly plays Australians, thereby retaining his accent.

• What ever does the bit I've highlighted mean? The Oz accent is not something one sort of tacks on to god-knows-whatever-else, and then just as quickly dispenses with when the occasion demands. It is absolutely just as legitimate a way of English-speaking in its own right as the way the Queen speaks, or Barack Obama speaks, or Elton John speaks. It's gotta go. -- Jack of Oz [your turn] 05:09, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
