Zali Steggall MP asks the PM if we can trust the Government to protect our Environment

25 March 2025

 

Zali Steggall MP asks the Prime Minister:

"50 per cent of Australia's GDP is reliant on nature. Yet the bill your government is ramming through today will further weaken environmental protections by creating an exemption to national nature laws for polluting industries. It will reduce accountability and risk pushing the World Heritage-valued Maugean skate to extinction. With your government, and you as Prime Minister, already breaking a 2022 election promise to strengthen natural laws, will you accept there can be no trust this election on commitments on protecting the environment?"

The Prime Minister responds.
