"Reforms to Australia’s nature laws have passed federal parliament. A
longstanding exemption that meant federal environment laws did not apply to
native logging has finally been removed from the
Environment Protection and
Biodiversity Conservation Act.
Native forest logging will now be subject to national environmental standards –
legally binding rules supposed to set clear goals for environmental protection.
This should be a win for the environment, and some have celebrated it as an end
to native forest logging in Australia.
But the reality is such celebrations are premature. We don’t have all the
details of the new standards, or know how they will be enforced and monitored."
