Australia is the only deforestation hotspot among developed nations and national laws are ineffective

We've done the south - Now for the north!
A case of filibusterism?

"Forests and woodlands across Australia’s south were deforested many decades ago. But our northern reaches have stayed far more intact – until recently. Most clearing took place without being assessed under Australia’s national environmental laws, which covers damage to threatened species and ecological communities. And state laws have many exemptions, especially in Queensland...Australia has promised to end deforestation. The problem is, our environmental laws and enforcement are failing to do so."

"Our results showed that even a nation with a suite of mature environmental protection laws is falling well short of achieving international commitments regarding deforestation...Poor compliance and exemptions facilitate ongoing deforestation."
