From the BOM press release I linked to earlier.

"Contrary to claims, the Bureau has not deliberately set limits on the temperatures it records. The Bureau's systems are designed to flag unusually high or low temperatures so they can be checked for veracity before being confirmed."
So who, precisely, checked the "veracity" of the Goulburn temperature measurement in this case, and how, precisely, after the "flag" was flown?
