“The nationwide environmental requirements fall properly brief of what’s wanted to guard nature.
“These requirements are supposed to be the target take a look at that every one builders have to satisfy to correctly defend nature, together with our most endangered wildlife, just like the koala or inexperienced turtle. However what has been put ahead isn’t even a take a look at; it’s a tick-and-flick course of for established order nature destruction.
“This draft customary is deeply disappointing, given the clear suggestions to the federal government on the failings of its first proposal.
