NIKOLINA KHAROUFEH:

Well, joining me live now on Sky Breakfast is Shadow Environment and Youth Minister Angie Bell. Angie, we have a few things to cover today. Thank you so much for your time. Now, first, Australia’s peak business lobby has been warning the nation’s project approvals process needs some improvement under environmental law reform, or they say significant investment will really amount to nothing. Labor has promised to set up a National Environment Protection Agency to really restore trust in the rules. What are your thoughts on this?

SPECIES UNDER THREAT FROM LABOR

Australia has one of the highest rates of flora and fauna extinctions in the world.
Since the Albanese Labor government came to office, 275 species have been newly listed as threatened bringing the total number to over 2,000.
Shadow Minister for the Environment, Angie Bell is alarmed by the increasing numbers of native flora and fauna being added to the threatened species list under Labor.

TOM CONNELL:

Sunday marks Threatened Species Day, raising awareness about Australia’s unique flora and fauna. 59 species have moved into a higher threat category since May 2022. When Labor took office, the government seemed to overhaul environmental laws before the end of the year. The Shadow Environment Minister, Angie Bell, joins me live now. Interesting to note, this day falls on the same day the Tasmanian tiger became extinct, the most famous of the extinct animals in Australia. But a lot of the other species at threat get a lot less attention.
