exclusive relationship, quoted as saying, longitudinal study
Melbourne, September 17 (ANI): Aussie couples seem to be the world's most faithful, for just three per cent of them were found to have cheated on their love ones in the past year during a survey.
Dr. Juliet Richters, a sex researcher at the University of NSW, carried out telephonic interviews with 6,500 adults, and found that just one per cent of women and four per cent of men in exclusive relationships had had sex with someone else in the past year.
"Australians have an impressively high level of commitment in relationships, probably one of the best in the world," the Sydney Morning Herald quoted Juliet as saying.
"And it shows that Australians are certainly consistent because they practise what they preach. They overwhelmingly say that having sex outside a relationships is wrong and that's obviously what they do," the researcher said while making a presentation on the findings of the Australian Longitudinal Study of Health and Relationships at the Australasian Sexual Health Conference in Perth.
Please explain the emboldened parts.

To "quote" someone is to claim to report their words exactly as they were spoken. The newspaper claims that Juliet said, "Australians have an impressively high etc.
