Removed paragraph

[edit]

I have removed the following paragraph from the article:

The Australian Film Commission provides grants to stimulate film production in Australia. The funding is required to be repaid from first cash flow after release. Bryan Brown and Rachel Ward have publicly criticised the NSW Government for failing to help finance their next project. But documents show the couple's New Town Films has yet to pay back Australian Film Commission grants for their 2003 short film Martha's New Coat, which received at least $18,250 in 2002. The 50-minute production was directed by Ward, produced by Brown and their daughter Matilda made her film debut in it.[T1 1]

  1. ^ "Aussie film flops cost taxpayers $90m". News Ltd. Retrieved 2008-04-14.
  • The original newspaper article is unreliable and speculative:
  • 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'm going to do the same at the article for Bryan Brown. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 10:34, 6 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
