Australia Updates Environmental Laws: A Mixed Bag
Update: 2025-11-28
Description
Australias environmental laws receive a long-awaited update, with the Labor government and Greens agreeing on changes to the EPBC Act. The new laws aim to better protect nature, but neither party considers it a complete victory. The Greens secured concessions, including better protection for native forests and tighter limits on ministerial discretion. However, some changes also benefit business. The success of these reforms will depend on their implementation and enforcement.
