You are reading our version, not theirs. This is The Guardian Australia (Sport)'s report shortened to its most important sentences, in plainer words, with verdicts and loaded words taken out. Plain description stays, and so do adjectives that carry a fact, such as "former" or "federal". The reporting, the facts and the quotations are theirs — quotations are never edited — and the indicators beside it measure this version. Hover or tap Adjectives to see every one left in the text.
No other newsroom we read has filed on this event, so there is nothing to compare it with yet.
