The State of Australia's Environment

More than two years after the Albanese government's promise for environmental reform, the situation in Australia remains dire, with a significant increase in the number of threatened species. There are over 2,200 species at risk of extinction, reflecting a rapid decline in biodiversity. Additionally, 19 ecosystems across the country show signs of collapse or near-collapse. The acknowledgment that existing environmental laws are ineffective highlights the urgent need for comprehensive legislative changes to protect both the environment and businesses.
