Prime Minister Albanese: You must improve the status quo for nature

The next few days are critical.

Changes to Australia’s national nature laws are being negotiated now.

The Albanese government promised to fix Australia’s broken nature laws, but mining interests are lobbying the PM to weaken the reforms at the last minute.

Will you send a quick email to the PM so his team knows there’s an enormous wave of voters who are watching closely and demanding action for nature?

Together, we need to rapidly tell Prime Minister Albanese that his only option is to work together with the Greens and senate crossbench to pass three critical reforms that are needed to improve the status quo for nature.

I write to you as a concerned citizen who cares deeply about Australia’s unique and special environment. Shockingly, Australia leads the world in mammal extinctions and is the only developed country in the world listed as a deforestation hotspot.

I am disappointed that after considerable delays with your Nature Positive agenda, you have foreshadowed bowing down to pressure from the mining lobby to water down these already weak Nature Positive bills.

The only pathway through the senate that would ensure these bills actually improve the status quo for nature is clear: Labor should be negotiating in good faith with the crossbench, including the Greens and Senators David Pocock and Lidia Thorpe.

Those Senators have charted out a clear pathway to pass the bills through the senate, provided amendments are made to the bills to stop deforestation and establish a truly accountable federal regulator. These include: 
- Creating an independent EPA that is transparent and accountable to communities
- Closing deforestation loopholes, and ensure deforestation is assessed under national laws
- Improving the Inclusion of First Nations in environmental assessment and decision making

The extinction and climate crises could not be more serious—and these amendments are both urgent and essential.

I urge you to pursue the only viable pathway for Nature Positive bills that could change the status quo for nature in a meaningful and positive way: negotiate with the crossbench.
