"Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek this week acknowledged the grave state of
Australia’s environment and pledged new laws to go before parliament next year.
But talk is cheap. The long-delayed
State of the Environment report was not a
surprise. Experts have sounded the alarm for years about the worsening plight
of species and ecosystems. Labor had nine years in opposition to prepare
policies. Where is the immediate action?
The new government has a tough job ahead. It took office as Australia faces
overlapping and worsening environmental crises, due to more than two centuries
of damage to the atmosphere, oceans, rivers and lands. And it must reverse nine
years of Coalition neglect on environment policy.
The previous government sat on the
State of the Environment report for
months, squandering precious time. So while Labor works on its longer-term
environmental reforms, here are five easy ways it can get started now."
