This is undoubtedly the most biased article I have seen on Wikipedia. Its focus is on climate change (see the linked articles) rather than on the topic at hand. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.130.12.75 (talk)

This article is just garbage. Completely biased. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 180.200.138.175 (talk) 19:46, 28 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Neelix: Why did you add the {{NPOV}} and {{essay-like}} tags to this article? Jarble (talk) 01:52, 8 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for reminding me about this article, Jarble! I added these tags four years ago, so I don't remember my thoughts from back then exactly. My current assessment of the article is that it focuses almost exclusively on the issue of what can be done to reduce the environmental impact of transport in Australia, thereby implicitly biasing the article towards a stance that this impact is negative, substantial, and in need of being remedied without justification. It is quite possible (and likely) that such justification exists, but it is not provided in the article; the opinions of experts on the nature and extent of the environmental impact of transport in Australia is not included in this article (hence the first tag), and no opinions are cited that suggest that enough (or too much) is being done to address the environmental impact (hence the second tag). I hope this helps! Neelix (talk) 02:36, 8 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
