Not only does Tony Abbott want to put state governments in complete control of the national environment, he announced in July that he would slash state environment protections as well. The Greens will vote against any attempt by the old parties to weaken environmental protection, and, unlike Labor, we will stand up against Tony Abbott’s plan to hand national environmental law to the states. The Australian Greens will strengthen our national environmental laws so that they actually protect our natural heritage, our air, water and soils and will see our biodiversity flourish.
