Greens Spokesperson for Environment Senator Sarah Hanson-Young responds to reports the Coalition is backing Labor\u2019s Nature Repair Market Bill:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAustralia\u2019s environment needs protection, not a \u2018Green Wall Street\u2019 propped up by bogus offsets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPeter Dutton and Barnaby Joyce are backing this policy, that says everything about how bad it is. It won\u2019t save the koalas and it won\u2019t protect our native forests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt is unsurprising the Coalition is supporting the Nature Repair Market Bill because it is former Agriculture Minister David Littleproud\u2019s bill 2.0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt is incredible the Albanese Government couldn\u2019t come up with a plan better than that of the environment-wrecking Coalition who allowed the plunder and destruction of nature for a decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMinister Plibersek has put forward this bill before establishing an Environment Protection Agency, legislating environmental standards and fixing our broken environmental laws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe inclusion of offsets as part of a market intended to repair nature was a red flag. There is nothing to stop this market from becoming a free pass for industry to continue destroying the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Albanese Government has well and truly put the cart before the horse and the environment will suffer as a result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Greens will be opposing this bill when it comes before the House on Thursday.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
