I am not going to edit this page at this moment, but as an environmental planning and policy student preparing a paper for assessment on the Franklin River campaign I have borrowed a number of texts from the time of this case and more recent; in my research this article seems to contain an error. The ALP Governments of Victoria and New South Wales supported the Hawke Federal Government's Act and the Federal case in the High Court, the Tasmanian and Queensland Governments did not. I cannot find this information again despite only having read it within the last 24 hours (familiar anyone when writing an essay?!?!?), whilst it was germane to my paper I chose not to include it for reasons of brevity and did not note the source or page number. It is possible that the Vic and NSW State Govts had concerns re states rights - I have not checked Hansard, nor specific law texts to do with this case. However, the sources I am using (about eight) are authoritative, in textual book format and in some cases from leading,respected Australian environmental academics. If anyone can produce evidence that Victoria and New South Wales were opposed to this legislation please do so, I am not a law student nor law practitioner. Hence my decision not to edit at this point. KrunchiePops 14:54, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

I have severe problems categorising this article as 'B Class'. For such an important case it is a very brief article that doesn't go into detail at all. Captaindwayne
