Greens Back Environment Reforms, Coalition Fails
Update: 2025-11-28
Description
Australias Environment Minister, Murray Watt, has successfully passed major reforms to the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act, excluding new fossil fuel projects from fast-track approvals and protecting native forest logging. Despite inviting the opposition to collaborate, a deal fell through due to the oppositions concerns about the rushed nature of the legislation. The oppositions failure to support the bill, commissioned by a former Liberal minister, is notable. The reform is expected to streamline development project approvals while enhancing environmental protection, marking a significant win for the government.
