Environment and Water Minister Tanya Plibersek believes the federal government have “hit the sweet spot” despite criticism of their new Environment Protection Body.
‘We’ve hit the sweet spot’: Tanya Plibersek hits back at criticism of environmental enforcer
The new independent body will be responsible for enforcing environmental laws.
The head of Greenpeace Australia Pacific likened the government’s announcement to a ‘pub without beer.’
“The Liberals say we are doing too much, the Greens say we are not doing enough; I think it shows we’ve hit the sweet spot,” Ms Plibersek told Sky News Australia.
“What we’ve got with this package is stronger environmental protection, faster decision making for business, a lot more data and transparency.
“There is something in this package for everyone.”
