Climate change and native forest logging are destroying our nature, wildlife and precious places.
Did you know?
Australia's current environment laws don’t force the Environment Minister to consider fossil fuel pollution and climate damage when deciding on development approvals.
Not only that, but the laws also don’t protect Australia’s ancient old growth forests from logging and destruction.
Australia’s environment laws are out of date and not fit for purpose in the current climate and extinction crises.
Labor had promised to protect our environment, but instead they have caved into mining companies, the fossil fuel lobby and the logging corporations.
Without urgent action from the Labor Government, we can’t stop dirty fossil fuel projects or protect our native forests from destruction. Our environment laws aren’t worth the paper they're printed on.
The Greens are calling on the Albanese Government to reform our environment laws urgently, and ensure that they:
- Introduce a climate trigger to properly assess fossil fuel projects for the pollution they emit
- Stop new coal and gas projects
- Ban native forest logging and habitat destruction
Join us in calling on the Labor Government to urgently protect our environment now, before it's too late.
