This edit in June 2006 by an anon did two things: it removed a lot of proper content (reading the bio, I thought it odd that all her early life is missing), and the material added to the article are large sections copied word for word from her DNZB bio. I have reverted this. Schwede 66 06:13, 3 October 2011 (UTC) reply

Rout's actions were discussed at great length (and mortified tones) in contemporary newspapers. These have been digitised and can be found at http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/ . Stuartyeates ( talk) 06:24, 3 October 2011 (UTC) reply
