@AlboMP please don’t cave to fossil fuel lobbyists. Aus needs strong nature laws now

[Australian Marine Conservation Society @AustMarConsSoc]

🪧 Our billboards are out in PM Albanese’s electorate in Sydney today!

The message is clear: Prime Minister, don’t bow to greedy corporations. We need strong nature laws now!

[Protect Ningaloo @protectningaloo]

URGENT!!! Help defend WA’s wildlife and the places we love. Right now in Canberra and in Perth, powerful corporate interests are lobbying hard to weaken our state & fed nature laws.
Let politicians know people support strong nature laws. Email now https://t.co/UOIqjXeD3W

[Alexia Wellbelove @Alexia_W]

Don't give in to the mining lobby @AlboMP, strike a deal with the @Greens and @DavidPocock to make the EPA as strong as possible. Don't let your legacy be weaker nature laws and more extinctions.

The 2024 Great Barrier Reef Outlook Report has just been released by @gbrmarinepark. 🐠 The reef is in major long-term decline despite the modest investments that have been made.☀ We all have a role to play to save the reef by taking personal climate action.

See our media statement to see what @CathLovelock @AngelaSocSci @NickiJMitch and @gscumming had to say.

An Aussie fish that was so popular it was fished to the verge of extinction, could soon be sold as a “sustainable” option.
