“Murky legal questions about the environmental consequences must be answered before the Senate rushes this legislation through. “The Greens will move to send the Government’s legislation to inquiry. While made with a specific industry in mind - one that poisons our waterways and drives ancient wildlife to extinction - it is broad, and likely to have far reaching consequences beyond the rotten salmon industry.
“Rushing these laws through under the cover of the Federal Budget, without proper scrutiny or consideration has the potential to impact many other cases. “Environment laws are supposed to protect the environment, not green-light destruction and extinction. At its best, this proposed legislation sidelines science and sends our wildlife to extinction, and at worst it drastically undermines legal protections and has far reaching consequences for our community and planet.
An inquiry is the least that is needed.” Facebook for the Australian Greens YouTube for the Australian Greens X for the Australian Greens Instagram for the Australian Greens Bluesky for the Australian Greens Privacy Members website Your safety Contact us Our plan Tax the 1% Tackle the cost of living Healthcare for all Fix the housing crisis Strong climate action In your language 2025 policy platform Policy principles & aims Our team Federal MPs State/territory MPs Officeholders Federal portfolios Federal media releases Take action Volunteer Donate Issues & campaigns Upcoming events Greens Shop Leave a bequest Green Magazine All news Our movement About the Greens Become a member Jobs Members website State/territory parties Contact us The Greens acknowledge the Traditional Owners of country throughout Australia and recognise their continuing connection to land, waters and culture.
