"Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has shelved the proposed reforms to
Australia’s 25-year-old environment laws, citing a lack of parliamentary
support for the changes.
The decision breaks Labor’s 2022 election commitment to overhaul the
protections. The Albanese government is now the latest in a string of
governments that have tried and failed to reform the law known formally as the
Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) Act.
This is despite two major independent reviews calling for wholesale change.
Labor’s capitulation does not, however, change the facts. Australia’s natural
environment is deteriorating rapidly. Laws are urgently needed to protect our
nation’s valuable natural assets.
Establishing effective laws is an investment that will benefit Australia’s
biodiversity, economy, cultural values, health and wellbeing. Nature is now a
key 2025 election issue."
