Australia’s environmental degradation

"One must ask why the federal government is so comfortable continuing to ignore the wishes of most Australians, and continuing to condemn our life-sustaining environment and wildlife to profound decline and destruction?"

"Experts in biodiversity and environmental law have found major flaws in the draft national standard for matters of national environmental significance.’..Market-driven nature repair projects will not help address this deficit."

"It would be a betrayal of Australia’s most important public good to settle for the mere appearance of action – we deserve the promised serious investment in our collective future." >>
