FEDERAL public servants are systematically sanitising the Wikipedia entries for federal politicians and have shown MPs how to change their entries.

Obviously this is wrong and public servants shouldn't be running clandestine PR for politicians, but the thing that concerns me most is the implication that our elected representatives are too dumb to figure out what the 'edit' button does on their own.

Oh, come on! Look on the bright side.

If they're too busy constantly fixing their Wiki entries ('cause folks keep changing it back to the 'truth') then the politicians won't have time to keep screwing-up our various countries. :)

Well, that's pretty shitty. They need to make a special clipart for locked entries this has happened to, like maybe Uncle Sam giving the middle finger or something.
