The article 'Peter Stanley' lacks a neutral point of view when discussing Peter Stanley's opinion of the wartime slogan of a 'battle for Australia' and makes no mention of what many consider to be a highly controvertial statement; "It seems to be that Australians want to believe that they were part of a war, that the war came close; that it mattered...Set against the prosaic reality, the desire is poignant and rather pathetic." Threat made manifest #Griffith Review, Spring 2005#.
The above quote, or a reference to this quote, is required to create a counter argument to the following biased statement "He has recently been a major participant in a public debate regarding the "Battle for Australia", contesting opinions that events in Darwin in 1942 during the Second World War represented Japan's intention to invade Australia. He argues that the wartime slogan of a 'battle for Australia', used by John Curtin in February 1942 in anticipating invasion by Japan, was taken up in the mid-1990s and applied unjustifiably." as stated on the wikipedia article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Stanley
Any attempt to create a neutral point of view or to quote the above statement by Peter Stanley are removed without cause by Nick-D who cites 'vandalism' or a range of other wikipedia rules in what may be a case of wrongful use of the wikipedia rules to promote a biased opinion. 122.148.43.180 ( talk) 08:39, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
