‘A joke’: Government grants approval to bulldoze habitat on private land

Valley Alliance Chair Tim White has criticised the government for approving the “bulldoze” of native forests on private land to connect renewable projects to the grid. “Rules for some and rules for others – this is a joke,” Mr White told Sky News host Chris Kenny. “The amount of red tape we have to jump through to knock down anything … now these guys can come through with no consultation whatsoever and bulldoze our country." Citizens commissioned a report revealing the Labor-led project will impact local koala habitats.
