Backing corporate interests over environmental wellbeing
"What the Albanese government did on the environment amid the Liberals’ turmoil: threatened species, a new coal project and carbon leakage"
* "Stopping pollution leaking overseas
* Ruling that the Maugean skate is not critically endangered
* 34 new threatened species listed
* Greenlight for another coal project. The government has approved 33 coal and gas developments or extensions since it was elected in 2022."

The so called "Environment Protection Reform Bill."
Protecting Australia's extraordinary wildlife ?"The proposed changes to the EPBC Act do not deal with its fundamental problem: despite its name, the law does not prioritise protecting the environment. Its principle role is to allow projects – including fossil fuel developments – to go ahead, with some conditions attached to limit environmental damage."
"Native forest logging overseen by the states has been effectively exempt, despite a long list of legal cases in which it was found to have breached the laws. Forest destruction on private land for agriculture – a major driver of biodiversity loss across vast areas of western New South Wales and Queensland, and the Northern Territory – has rarely been assessed."
"There is little sign the legislation will tackle the huge problem of deforestation. Millions of hectares have been cleared without federal oversight, mostly for industrial farming. The state of the environment report cited evidence that 93% of the threatened species habitat cleared between 2000 and 2017 was not referred for assessment under national law. One hundred scientists wrote to Albanese this week calling for this to be urgently addressed."

Pushing people/ life outside the “human climate niche”
Modelling shows gas project emissions will cause hundreds of heat-related deaths"According to the study, another 356,000 people globally would be pushed outside the human climate niche, a comfort zone defined by scientists as the climate conditions in which human societies have thrived historically."
"Under Australia's current environmental laws, the environment minister is not required to consider the climate impacts and emissions when approving a fossil fuel project."
"According to the Climate Council, since the Albanese government came to office, it has approved 31 fossil fuel projects resulting in 6.5 billion tonnes of carbon-equivalent emissions directly and from combustion of the coal and gas they produce."
"If there are actions around liability for the harms that have been caused by particular projects to demonstrate for compensation or reparations for the harms that are caused by fossil fuel developments."

Australia’s inaction on climate policy - ‘straight out of the climate obstruction playbook’
“There’s a lot of reasons, but intentional efforts from coal and gas and their enablers is why we have this history in Australia of climate policy inaction.”
“The latest efforts in Australia match closely what we’re seeing globally, attacking solutions and scientists in an attempt to delay climate action.”
