QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator HODGINS-MAY (Victoria) (15:01): Not one group is backing you. You selectively choose lines to include in your email blasts; it's ridiculous. The Wilderness Society has called for the removal of the continuous-use loophole that it says is being used to clear one million hectares in Queensland alone under the Albanese government—one million hectares!

Will the government remove the section 43B continuous-use exemption so that agricultural clearing cannot continue to destroy habitat and drive extinctions without scrutiny?
