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!
