Is the BOM manipulating temperature records?

This has been reported by Chriss Smith of 2GB but I have noticed it as well. I frequently monitor the temp on the BOM website, especially on cold nights so I have seen it myself.

The Golbourn AWOS reports the real time temp of say -10.5 deg C. I see it sitting at my desk. several days later i look at the temperature records and see that the lowest temp on that day has been adjusted to something like -9.0.

Can the BOM be trusted for aeronautical data?
