We're asking the independent review panel, and federal environment minister Sussan Ley what they're planning to do to ensure we all have a future with clean water and air, a safe climate, and to protect the places we love, by ensuring our national nature laws are up to scratch.
Why? Australia's 20 year old environment laws are up for review and we're committed to making sure the people in charge of reviewing them do a proper job of it.
Personalised submissions work, are worth many times more in the eyes of our elected reps than a signature on a ready-made submission, and are one important way you can make sure your point of view is included in this once in ten year review of Australia's environment laws.
