In a timeless statement, because we aren’t actually making any major changes to save it, the Great Barrier Reef is in a lot of trouble

Here is what Murray Watt had to say about that:

Well, comes to the Great Barrier Reef, our Government is investing over a billion dollars over several years to restore the health of the Great Barrier Reef. It is clearly a icon, not just a national icon in Australia. We know that coral reefs all around the world, including the Great Barrier Reef and Ningaloo in Western Australia, under pressure from climate change.

That’s why we got to keep making those investments to restore the health of the reefs it’s why we got to keep reducing our emissions and got to reach net zero.

The Coalition might want to have their internal games about net zero and distract them from important issues like environmental law, but in the meantime, we do see our environment go backwards. So but the number one thing we can do at the moment to help the reef and all of our natural environment is to pass these laws which will environmental standards, higher penalties for those who break the law, new federal EPA which we never had before to enforce those laws, so it’s a vital step forward for our environment.
