Labor shelves contentious 'nature positive' laws after West Australian backlash

www.abc.net.au Labor shelves contentious environmental reform after backlash from WA

Labor won't try to negotiate the passage of the new laws, which would create a new federal Environment Protection Agency, in the coming sitting fortnight.

Well that's just fcukibg depressing :(

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says Labor has shelved plans to pass its contentious nature positive environmental laws before the election.

The decision comes after fierce resistance from West Australian Premier Roger Cook and sections of the mining industry.
