Good morning. Kelly Higgins-Devine. What a great name. I just want to say that on air.

Thank you so much. Okay, so with this legislation, we’ve heard that the Greens have been offered a concession. Have you been offered one or any of the items you would like to see change in this legislation?

NIKOLINA KHAROUFEH:
Murray Watt has offered two major compromises to secure support to pass Labor’s green laws reforms in the final sitting week of the year. In a bid to the Coalition, he has signaled at reducing heavy penalties for businesses which violate the new environment laws. He also made an offer to the Greens proposing amended legislation to impose more stringent protections on native forest logging. The federal government is hoping to pass the laws through the upper house. Liberal Senator Jane Hume says the move from Watt is a good start but hopes the Labor Party can make a deal with the Coalition.

LABOR MISSING IN ACTION ON ENVIRONMENT LAWS

On the eve of the final sitting week for 2025 – Labor has set the scene with a self-imposed pre-Christmas deadline to pass their Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) Act reforms.

TRANSCRIPT – Sky News Politics Now with Tom Connell

TOM CONNELL:
Joining me now is Shadow Environment Minister Angie Bell, who’s been combing through this Bill. Thank you for your time. So, you’re not supporting the laws as they stand. Going through a few of your points that you’ve made. So, you say there’s no improvement.
The Bill does talk about avoiding duplication in terms of having the approval powers at state, not federal level. That would be an improvement, wouldn’t it, in terms of duplication, which a lot of people complain about?

If Roger Cook, who is not exactly a greenie, I think it’s fair to say, says pass the laws, why shouldn’t you?
