Talk:Green ban

message: As mentioned before this article is lacking some examples of Green Bans in Australia and information as to what happened after the Green Bans took place and where in Australia or internationally did they have an effect in terms of other environmental decison making processes. I am a part of a group of 4 from a Masters program at Macquarie University in Sydney who would like to update this page in accordance with the wikipedia guidelines. We wish to update the page by adding details such as more examples of local Green bans and the benifits the Green Ban had in Sydney. We will include a timeline of how the Green Bans took place and incude some national examples.  We will also include some information regarding how the Green ban affected international politics, Petra Kelly was in Sydney at the time of the Green Bans and took the idea back to Germany which is when she created the German Greens Party. Also we will have some information as to the Impact of Green Ban's and the outcomes it has had for changes to urban planning decisions in NSW. We will add to the page some high quality peer reviewed articles as well as some other high quailty sources. EnvDecisonMaking (talk) 00:00, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  But what is it? 

message: In the "Background" section, there was previously a sentence which read: "The first green ban was put in place to protect Kelly's Bush, the last remaining undeveloped (but radioactive) bushland in the Sydney suburb of Hunters Hill." The "(but radioactive)" text was added in this edit, and I thought it might be vandalism, but I did find this mention of radioactive waste on a blog: "Doubts about prospective home sites were raised in 1978 when low-risk radioactive waste material from the old tin smelting furnace was found on the land." 
From the sound of it, the radioactivity wasn't a substantial environmental concern, but it raised concerns about the marketability of the planned development. "Undeveloped (but radioactive) bushland" doesn't really convey that—it conveys a park that glows in the dark. So, I took the step of removing "(but radioactive)" from the aforementioned sentence. Everything I know about this topic I learned from Wikipedia, so perhaps someone more knowledgeable/Australian could evaluate how relevant the radioactive waste was to the success of the green ban, and add a nicely sourced sentence if it's warranted. --Fullobeans (talk) 19:39, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
