Murray Watt to spruik proposed rewrite of nature laws to WA miners
Faster environmental approvals could save proponents hundreds of millions of dollars, according to analysis the federal environment minister will use to sell his planned rewrite of nature laws to Western Australian miners.
Having modern, fit-for-purpose environmental laws in place will protect Australia’s precious natural environment, while also supporting speeding up assessments and approvals for national priorities like more homes, jobs, renewable energy, critical minerals and the economic prosperity Australia needs in the future.

An ongoing mass public therapy session doesn’t exactly scream ‘ready for government’.
The Liberal party is not a thinktank. Or an activist group. Or a debating society. We are a political party designed to win and hold government.

The consequences if we fail are dire.
