[edit] POV Dispute

This article seems negative to me. I am not sure how to approach editing this article so it would nice to see what some other people think regarding this article's neutrality.

Hi,

As the article's author, I'm probably in the best position to answer this.

When I said that Elliott was "generally regarded as an ineffective minister", I was basing this on press commentary and a variety of web-sources -- not on my own opinion.

I still think the basic point is fair, but I see how the current wording could be seen as unfair. I'll revise. CJCurrie 01:33, 22 May 2005 (UTC)

CJ, this statement merits being sourced: "Some environmentalist groups were disappointed with her performance, however, and regarded her as an ineffective voice against the pro-development policies of other ministers." Regards, Ground Zero | t 01:52, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

I believe I based this statement (in part) on Bob Hunter's Eye column, but I've removed the statement entirely pending further research.

Some of the articles I wrote a few years ago were a bit too casual; that's why I've adopted a more thorough approach now. CJCurrie 03:00, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
