Welcome to November Wild News - Here's a quick snapshot of our successes and achievements across the country.
Julia Gillard’s call for a parliamentary inquiry into the Queensland Wild Rivers legislation has been broadly welcomed by the Wilderness Society.
With our major campaigns receiving national media attention over the past few weeks, at the Wilderness Society we’re providing a strong campaign voice as the new Federal Parliament sits for the first time this week.
As the new Parliament sits for its first full day of business, the Wilderness Society has slammed Opposition Leader Tony Abbott for planning to attack critical river protection laws in Queensland. The group is calling on Labor, Greens and Independent MPs to rebuff the Liberal leader’s campaign.
The Wilderness Society welcomes the appointment by Prime Minister Gillard of two fresh faces to key environment portfolios, as part of new Federal Ministry, and stress to the new Ministers this is not the time for half measures.
After over two weeks of political uncertainty, the Wilderness Society welcomes the new Gillard Government, formed with the support of Independents and The Greens, as a great opportunity for environmental leadership in our country.
In a letter to the Editor of the Australian Financial Review, Dr Tim Seelig from the Wilderness Society argues Wild Rivers legislation is too politicised.
The rise and rise of ‘the Green voter’ puts our National leaders on notice about the importance of environmental issues that affect us all.
As the country waits to find out which party will form the next Federal Government, the surge in support for the Greens across the country shows people want action on the environment.
The Wilderness Society today released its final assessment of the Parties’ policies on the environment this Election. Our conclusion is that the two biggest parties, the ALP and the Liberal-National Coalition, have been missing-in-action on the environment this election.
