Ahead of their appearance before the Senate inquiry into stage 2 of the Nature Positive bills, leaders of national environment groups will join together to urge the Albanese government to push ahead with the reform of Australia’s nature laws.
The groups have long advocated for an independent EPA to fix enforcement failures and remove the capacity for vested interests to influence decision making, undermining nature protection. The groups say the government’s proposed model needs to be strengthened.
A week after the release of new data showing deforestation in Queensland remains at alarmingly high levels, the conservationists will call on Senators to strengthen the Nature Positive bills and urge the government to progress the full reform of the national nature law.
