[edit] Neutrality

Article seems very anti-Woodside/State Gov

If people want to add material about the campaign re the peninsula, ensure neutral POV by (a) reporting the campaign rather than implcitly endorsing it - eg. put claims by campaign groups in quotes etc and (2) ensuring responses of other parties are quoted (eg. WA Govt). Agree it was very anti-woodside et al, and didn't cite sources either.
