Labor’s Nature Positive bill like ‘putting the foxes in charge of the chicken coop’

Nationals Senator Matt Canavan has likened the Albanese government’s Nature Positive bill to “putting the foxes in charge of the chicken coop”. “It’s effectively putting the foxes in charge of the chicken coop,” Mr Canavan told Sky News Australia. “What this will do is put activist bureaucrats in charge of every project in this country. “We just saw a small window into that when the current minister of environment, who seemed to be doing a good job imitating an activist, stopped a billion-dollar gold mine because of concerns about a mythical bee. “It’s not even an impact on a bee; it’s an impact on a story about a bee.”
