Peter and the environment laws
20 January 2010Will the federal government miss a once in a decade chance to protect the environment in a very concrete way, asks Tom Arup in the National Times
ON MY DESK in The Age’s Canberra bureau there is a giant stack of environmental reports commissioned by the Rudd and Howard governments, with a smattering of state government reports.
Many have been neglected, ignored or perverted by government – just look what happened to the Garnaut Review.
I added a new one on December 21 (a Christmas present!), the Hawke Review.
Less sexy than the Henry Review (tax), the Crawford Review (sports) or the Bradley Review (universities), the Hawke Review is an investigation into the national environment laws...
