desire to control the edit which you have reverted on the basis that it is aussie bashing was certainly not that and if you look at the article the previous editor's pr cis was clearly correct the quotation is 'the former prime minister also accused the occupying force of the desire to control mr sogavare said certain elements of the local police force have succumbed to agendas of the occupying force how can it be aussie bashing to describe sogavere's words accurately it is no secret that sogavere did not want ramsi in solomon islands or that he was not on good terms with the australian government to describe his statement that the occupying force had a desire to control meant that he accused both ramsi and the local police of a desire to control is simply to misrepresent the contents of the news item no doubt sogavere is guilty of aussie bashing those who quote him without editorialising are certainly not guilty of it this further demonstrates the desirability of setting out direct quotation from marr's article rather than summarising it as you prefer
