AUSTRALIA is at an environmental crossroads. The Albanese Government is moving towards the adoption of a new draft environmental offsets standard and draft regulations which will decide the fate of Australia’s wildlife.
The changes are substantial, confusing, time-consuming and severely weaken existing environmental protection, which cannot be described as effective. The Government wages war against any opposition using lengthy, complex papers, draft strategies, charts, online workshops, questionable research, ensuring limited responses.
In fact, the verbosity of the Federal Government is shaping up as a national alternative to sleeping pills. This is the perfect response for the powers that currently drive this country.
