"Federal Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek has announced a much-anticipated
overhaul of Australia’s national environment law. The plan is rich with welcome
new policies – but the path to change is littered with hurdles.
The changes largely follow the recommendations of a major review of the law,
known as the Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) Act.
The review by Professor Graeme Samuel was released in 2020. Speaking to ABC
radio last week, Samuel expressed “complete elation and unqualified admiration
and respect” for Plibersek’s comprehensive policy response.
The path of this big agenda stretches far beyond the one-term political
horizon. I was a senior public servant responsible for managing and reforming
the EPBC Act from 2007 to 2012. I’ve seen firsthand the obstacles to ambitious
environmental reform.
Here are four hurdles Plibersek will have to jump, just for starters."
