Understorey: Ringbarking the EPBC Act

Last week’s independent Australian National Audit Office report on the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act found that the government’s regulatory approach is insufficient to deal with the environmental risks involved, and that the department is not being effective, efficient or in some cases compliant.  Understorey discovers why these flaws in nationally significant project proposals approval processes matter, from Yeerlirrie uranium mine to the Western Ground Parrot, to chronic offsetting, with the help of Nicole Sommer, lawyer with the Environmental Defenders Office.
