Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek has approved the destruction of coastal heathland for a rocket launching facility at Whalers Way. This area is described as ‘critical habitat’ for the survival of the Eyre-Peninsula Southern Emu-wren!
It highlights just how broken Australia’s nature laws are, and the mounting consequences of the Albanese Government’s failure to deliver strong new nature laws.
Email your Labor representatives now: stop nature-wrecking projects and deliver strong nature laws now!
Writing tips:
An effective email can be as short as a few sentences.
Focus on the key issue – our laws are failing to stop nature destruction – and make a clear ask of your Labor representatives.
- Say you’re disappointed in Labor's decision to approve Southern Launch’s destructive rocket launching project at Whalers Way.
- Urge them to deliver strong nature laws that stop nature-wrecking projects like this, like they promised before the last election.
- Remind them of the Albanese Government’s pledge of no more extinctions – these words need action!
All Labor representatives in Parliament need to push for strong nature laws. If you don’t have a Labor Member of Parliament (MP), you’ll have several Labor Senators that represent you and need to consider your views.
Thanks for speaking up!
