The @greens.org.au have secured a restriction on #PayToDestroy on “protected matters” that'll be "determined by the Minister at a future date, with the advice of the Threatened Species Scientific Committee"
But make no mistake #PayToDestroy has failed in NSW & QLD & will worsen biodiversity loss

Introducing ‘payments to destroy’ under national nature laws – lessons ignored from the NSW scheme
Everyone agrees the current laws are failing, but that doesn’t mean any change is an improvement. When it comes to offsets, it’s clear things are going to get worse not better.

Anyone else noticed how Nazi rallies get the go-ahead fairly easily from state governments, then the horrified public reaction is weaponised to pass anti-protest laws, which are then used to quash anti-genocide dissent and justify police assaults on small brown women? You picking up on this, too??

Yes, I'm angry, and deeply saddened. I'm so tired of the enablers that are actively contributing to our dying planet. Pieces like @zoedaniel.bsky.social's do tremendous harm to genuine environmental law reform and are deeply upsetting to the many scientists and experts on the front lines.
Zoe Daniel joins the chorus of deeply unhelpful hot takes from non-experts about the EPBC reforms.
This opinion piece is so poorly constructed and full of deeply ignorant and superficial commentary. It reads like it’s written by a Labor staffer.
